USB Pen Drive?

[Bryan Anderson]

I have a PQI Travelling Disk 2 (256MB, USB2) pen drive that *says* it's 
Linux compatible. If I plug it in, the /mnt/flash is created, /etc/fstab
gets an additional line:

/dev/sda1     /mnt/flash    auto    noauto,owner,kudzu        0 0

but trying to mount /mnt/flash gives me an error:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

if I change the /etc/fstab line to include vfat instead of auto (the pen 
drive is formatted with Windows XP), then I get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
        or too many mounted file systems

I imagine that it's a simple configuration problem with the fstab line, 
but have no clue about where to start on a solution.

Any help would be great - you guys are much, much more helpful than 
anyone on usenet!
