Can't mount my USB memory stick in Debian


I edited /etc/fstab to add:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,user,fmask=133,dmask=022 0 0

but when I plug the stick in it came back with an error:

Can't find /mnt/usb


So I then ran the commands:

mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb


and tried again, and this time it came back with:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so


so I did

dmesg | tail

And got this error message:

Unable to load NLS charset cp437


Any advizes?

It's either that I'm using the wrong codepage option, in which case, how to find out the right one?

Or

I'm using the wrong file-system, should it be vfat for an sdcard in a usb adapter thing?

Try
sudo /sbin/modprobe nls_437

Make sure you have the xorg-x11-fonts-core package installed.

Maybe try the option "codepage=437".
