On my TS-7200 I was able to do it without much hassle. You may need to "insmod
usb-storage" to load that module. Frequently these devices will be show up as
/dev/sda1, but not always. Plug in the usb device and type "dmesg" and at the
end you should see a message something like "found usb device...blah... sda".
If so then "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt" and then you can see the filesystem on
mount point /mnt. When you get done, be sure to umount it before you pull it
out.
The tradititional (perhaps obsolete) way to specify modules to load at boot time
was to put a line in /etc/modules. If you put it there and it works, good for
you. If not, "the debian way" is to use a system called "update-modules" which
manages it, but I doubt they do that on the mini filesystem on the flash.
To make it permanent, "mkdir /thumbdrive" (or whatever you want to call it) and
add it to /etc/fstab about like so:
/dev/sda1 /thumbdrive vfat defaults 0 0
Hope that helps.
