mounting USB flash disk

I am running Gentoo linux and have had problems mounting USB flash drives.
I was wondering if someone could give me steps on how to mount (the device
shows up on /proc/bus/usb/devices as Crucial Gizmo, and says:
T: Bus: 02 Lev=01 Port=00 Cnt=-1 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
Vendor=0634 ProdID=3400 Rev= 0.01
S: Manufacturer=Crucial
S: Product=Gizmo
S: SerialNumber=XXXXXXXXXXX
C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=120mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage
E: Ad=81(i) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
from what I know of USB, I think the e: lines are endpoints, and some of
the rest is obvious. However, when I try mac-fdisk /dev/sdX(a,b,c,or d),
it doesn't find the device. I am on a powerbook G4 800mhz and it is
plugged into the back of the computer (port 2). Does anyone know how to
solve this problem?
thanks
nick
