some hardware and software questions

My USB memory stick plugs into a USB port. When I do so, I see a lot
of messages:

Vendor: LEXAR     Model: JUMPDRIVE SPORT   Rev: 1000
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 00
SCSI device sda: 1014784 512-byte hdwr sectors (520 MB)

sda: assuming drive cache: write through
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 0

Though I'm sure it's the wrong way to do it, I added the following to
/etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1               /mnt/jump               auto    noauto,users,dev,exec,suid 0 0

Then I can:

mount /mnt/jump

This is on Fedora Core 2. FC3 is supposed to have a more automated way
to do things but I haven't figured it out yet and this works so what
the heck...
