I'm trying to connect a new unformatted disk, using usb to fc5.
Now I intend to partion this drive using fdisk. The question is
how do I know what device it will get?

I suppose it should be something likde /dev/sda as other USB drives I 
connect
seam to use SCSI emulation. But if I try fdisk /dev/sda and the rest of 
the alphabet
nothing shows up.
