In reviewing those details, I am not sure that I saw anything to my eye
that would indicate the particular /dev that is appropriate.

In my case, after reviewing several web sites where folks had posted
their experience, I tried a couple of options that led me to the choices
that I now have in my /etc/fstab.

It may be that you will need to play around a bit until you find a
setting that works for you, but I would at least start with /dev/sda1
and /dev/sdb1 and see what results you get.  If neither of those work, I
would try to increment to /dev/sda2 and/or /dev/sdb2. 

It shouldn't be, but it may be a matter of some trial and error, unless
you can locate unequivocal information for your particular reader and
perhaps even media type.

I hope that provides some additional guidance. Perhaps someone else will
jump in with a more refined set of details.
