It didn't here either. Writing when I did, hours after I should have gone to 
bed, I got flustered when lsscsi was not installed and had to install it, 
then forgot about even trying lsblk (as Brian answered later), which is 
actually the better alternative, and didn't write a logically complete 
answer. Output from lsscsi doesn't include partition information, so mounting 
based upon its literal output will fail unless the USB device is unpartitioned.
