Like any device, your HDD must be mounted before you can see it. Create a directory to mount it to (e.g. under /mnt do "mkdir usbHD") and then issue the corresponding mount command:
# mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbHD
Instead of sda1 you may have to try 2, 3 etc if you get an error message. If you know what filesystem is used on the usbHD substitute 'auto' with the filesystem (fat32 -> vfat)

You also want to be sure that the USB 2.0 module is loaded, or you will find your harddisk very slow. Run to check that ehci-hcd is loaded ;-)

Since there appears to be no meaningful relationship between modules and their function, is there a good resource where I can find out what corresponds to what?
