I believe tht you would add the /dev/usbdevice (usually /dev/sda1 for my
usb hard drive) and create a directory like /mnt/usbdevice to mount the
drive. I create the mountpoint and usually add the device to mount
within /etc/rc.d/rc.local file by issuing something like below.
mount /dev/usbdevice /mnt/usbdevice
as an example.
The rc.local file is pretty late in the boot process and other factors
should already have been initialized. I'm not too sure if usb
funtionality is loaded before the drives are mounted from /etc/fstab or not.
