I have a similar problem on FC1 and I cannot mount the usb stick on /dev/sda1. Here is what my /etc/fstab looks like... LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,owner,user,sync 0 0 The error message is mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device Any suggestions? Thanks.
