Assuming it doesn't "just work" for you, the trick is that FC
thinks it's a SCSI device.  I got mine to work using something like
this:

mkdir /media/usbdisk
chmod 777 /media/usbdisk   #
setting permissions for ease of use
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1
/media/usbdisk

If you have a USB disk that is an NTFS volume, I
am not sure how far you can get, because I haven't worked on NTFS support.
 But I found I could build a new filesystem with

mkfs -t ext3
/dev/sda   

Then it was easy to mount.
