I think so, if another device exists with enough space in 
the /dev/sb? area.  The idea behind this USB key is that 
poor Windows users can store security software on the 1.44 
part to unlock the full 254Mb part.  It seems to be hard 
wired like it, so MM2 sees sba1 and sbb1.  MM2 tried to 
use sbb1 which happened to be the tiny bit and moaned. 
 
All I do is mount /home on /dev/sda1 at boot but it's a 
bit odd having to explain why I'm doing that to friends 
who should be using MM2 too ;-) 
 
Best regards, 
 
Daniel
