sheevaplug

I've acquired a Sheevaplug running - I think - Ubuntu. I'd like to mount an external USB hard drive, but I don't know the name of the device that needs mounting.

When I list the devices under /dev, a long list is produced.

How do I find out which device listed needs to be mounted?

Update:

When I run dmesg after plugging the device in, I see the following at the end:

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_marvell and address 6
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 6, error -71
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_marvell and address 7
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 7, error -71
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_marvell and address 8
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 8, error -71 
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_marvell and address 9
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 9, error -71

And when I view /var/log/messages, I can see this:

Sep 23 21:26:03 debian kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_ma$
Sep 23 21:26:04 debian kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_ma$
Sep 23 21:26:05 debian kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_ma$
Sep 23 21:26:05 debian kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_ma$

Unfortunately, I don't know what these mean.
