You've got the right idea, but the wrong device, /dev/fd0 is the first
floppy device. I would guess that your USB reader would show up as
/dev/sdX where X is some letter from a to z. IF you check the output of
dmesg you should see the registration of the reader and what sd device
was assigned. If it's a multi-card reader then it might create multiple
sdX entries one for each card slot.
