Excerpt from dmesg removed because it's boring ;)
I made a directory on the mmc (so it will show in the file manager) to mount it: /media/mmc1/mntpnt
Then ran mount /dev/sda2 /media/mmc1/mntpnt
Worked like a charm.
I made a video of it pre-optimized for Nokia 770 viewing:

You can use /home/user/MyDocs for mountpoints as well. No need to put them on an MMC card.
question [I do not have a 770... :( ] : what does /etc/fstab look like? Can you edit it? Perhaps that way it would automount the nano since it has obviously that capability (beware, it might brick your device since it is probably a critical file)
Great stuff. How did you connect the hardware?
Definitely grat description. I made it yesterday with a 3G 30G iPod. Worx. USB keyboard worx. thnx a lot!!! m
Hi,
I used a different method to supply the USB and 770 host mode, but it works... I used to use debian and looking at the 770 system I discovered that the /dev/ doesn't list any sda or sdb item. I red around (including maemo wiki) that the usb storage device should be mounted using the mount -t vfat sda1..., what if the device doesn't exist? As in debian I have to create it or what. Before I start to modify the file system I really appreciate to have a look at a detailed example of howtodoit. I havn't found it here and neither on maemo.org

I'm having the same problem. I want to mount something but I don't have have know what "node" in the kernel to mount. there's no sda/hda node to mount with, so I'm just trying to figure everything out.
btw you could certainly edit the fstab. that would not bork your system, as long as you don't screw up what the other lines have on them.
