John,

Yes, I believe you will need the usb-scsi module to load at boot.

here is how part of my /etc/fstab file is set up:

/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd4       /mnt/zip                auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,user,kudzu 0 0
/dev/scd0       /mnt/cdrom1             iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1       /mnt/widget             vfat    
noauto,owner,nodev,gid=users,uid=nobody,quiet,umask=2 0 0


I have a small USB "mass storage device" that I call a widget. It allows
me to carry 64mgb around in my pocket. Properly set up digital cameras
_should_ report themselves to the OS as a USB Mass Storage Device.

So in the fstab above, scd0 is a usb cd burner amd sda1 is the widget,
aka usb mass storage device.  My setup doesn't work perfectly as after
using one such device I cannot plug in another and access it the same
way without rebooting.  And I have no idea what to do to fix that so I
just live with it.

Back to your question,  you need to have the proper usb bits load on
boot, you need to have an entry in the fstab file, AND you need to
create a /mnt/camera or some such directory.

Hope this helps.

Sean
