You can verify with fdisk if there is a partition table, but 
I think my memory sticks came partioned. The msdos vs
vfat probably isn't the problem, but I just use vfat.

Turn on filesystem option in USB config. Then mount usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb
This isn't critical - likely the problem is the /dev/sda vs /dev/sda1 issue.
