I can't mount pendrive's

Hi, i used to mount a pendrive with this line in /etc/fstab

/dev/sda  /mnt/pendrive vfat rw,user,noauto,umask=000 0 0

and no problem, but since an upgrade of udev (I guess), /dev/sda it doesn't exists anymore!

(meshuggin:~$) ls /dev
adsp     hda5     nvidia0    ram3    tty    tty22  tty37  tty51  tty9
agpgart  hda6     nvidiactl  ram4    tty0   tty23  tty38  tty52  ttyS0

hda2     null     ram2       tts     tty21  tty36  tty50  tty8

Where should I mount my pendrive?

Re: I can't mount pendrive's

my /dev/sdc doesn't exist until *after* I plug the drive in. However, its possible you are missing a module... maybe usb_storage? Check lsmod.

Re: I can't mount pendrive's

Thank U both, I loaded the appropiate modules and Voila!, i t works

Should I put those modules (usb-storage and sd_mod) in rc.conf? (MODULES)

I think you should if they are not loaded automatically.
