Uh... Mike, the command should be `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash`. You need
to use /dev/sda1 which is the actual device. When mount says "special
device sda1 does not exist", it's looking for /mnt/sda1, your pwd, and
sda1 is not stored there. 's' does stand for scsi, but /dev/sda1 is a
"special" device because it references a device as opposed to just a
normal file.
