It is /dev/sdaX normally. With 9.1, you have to mount it manually
IIRC.

It appears you have to have the device plugged in at boot time as
well.

Should work later too, you just have to manually mount it. The device
should get
created when you insert it.

I believe you only need to do that once, to get some necessary stuff
created -- from now on it should work by plugging it in. However, I'mnot sure so don't tell anyone *I* told you; if you do, I'll deny it
all!

Oddly when I plugged it back in this morning I didn't have to mount
it.
When I tried to access it through Konqueror it was already mounted. Apleasant surprise.
