I put the important parts you left out in []s. Why are you trying to
mount things? You said you want to install Tails to a USB disk. That
does not involve mounting anything, but dding the tails-1.2.3.img file
to the entire USB disk.
If I plug in an old Memorex USB disk, then immediately do "dmesg |
tail", and I snip all the irrelevant bits, I get:
scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access Memorex TRAVELDRIVE 005B
sdf: sdf1 sdf2
...this is a Gentoo USB installation image with 2 partitions, one EFI
and one with the install data. So if I wanted to install Tails to this
USB disk, I would do:
dd if=tails-1.2.3.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1M
...as a user who had write permission to /dev/sdf . Note that your USB
disk will show up as a completely different /dev/sdX device.
