good! this is the system telling you that it sees the card reader
as /dev/sda (you get that from "scsi removable disk sda").
try inserting a SD card and then running a command like "fdisk -l /
dev/sda" (which should, ideally, give you a listing of the partition
table on the SD card). individual partitions on the card will be
referenced as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc. hopefully there'll be only
one partition, so you can try the following set of commands:
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard
# mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/sdcard (replace "X" with the partition number
you gleaned from fdisk)
if you get an error about filesystem type, try again:
# mount -t auto /dev/sdaX /mnt/sdcard
then do a "df" to see if the system sees a volume mounted on /mnt/
sdcard.
if all this works, you can start configuring your system to
automatically mount SD cards when they are inserted, but that's a
topic beyond the scope of this message.
