well, if 'dmesg' indicates that it sees a scsi drive, you can find out
what its partition table is with 'fdisk -l' and then mount whatever
partition exists (probably sdX1 for some alphabetical value of X) as:

mount /dev/sdXY /mnt

if dmesg doesn't spit out a bunch of stuff about how it found a new
mass storage device and assigned it a drive letter, something deeper
is wrong and posting the output here is going to be necessary for
further troubleshooting.

but that's a bummer!
