That's an old distribution, so the technique I used with Slackware v. 10 might work.

Short version:

1. Connect the device.

2. Open a terminal and, as root, run "dmesg."

3. Examine the output of dmesg to find the device.

4. Make a mount directory in /mnt or /media.

5. Enter the device in your fstab with the appropriate variables.

Here's a blog post I wrote quite a while ago about setting up my Iriver to mount in Slackware.
