The "disk" is /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.  It's most likely that you're
going to mount a partition on the disk.  Try something like:

mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/usbhd

(Notice the number after sda.)

I tried,
mount  -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/usbhd

And I get,
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist

I  looks like,
mount  -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/usbhd

Thanks,
