you have to mount your Flash ...

mount -t vfat /dev/sd0 /mnt/flash

before mount you have to create a directory named flash in /mnt. you can change it as your wish. i just give you an example.

if it doesn't work, change sd0 with sd1 or sd2 or sd3 or sd4, ... i think it should work ...

Best Regards.

I tried that and it gave me the following error
special device /dev/sd* does not exist. I used * = 1 to 6

Actually that should be * to 6
