Rich;
  I can't mount the USB drive at all.
  I have the USB stick installed prior to booting the system; does not
appear to be detected.
  When I issue the sudo mount /dev/sda1 <mount point>, it returns:

mount: can't find /UNIONFS/dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

  Never during any process do I see the activity light on the USB drive
flicker.
  I've verified USB is enabled in the BIOS; and the stick works fine on
another system.
  I'll admit here, now, that this is the first time I've ever attempted
to mount a USB drive under Linux.
