usbfat: does not work consistently on my machines, but I was not going to
mention that until I spent enough time to try to figure out why.  So, try it,
it might work for you.  If it does not also try running usb/disk /dev/sdU*
(where * is the usb device) and then try running usbfat:  For some reason that
seems to work for me most of the time.

As a note, the problem with the USB is probably more systemic -- I even lost
my USB mouse for awhile after I rebooted into Linux.  I had to unplug the
machine a couple of times before it came back.  Not sure what's up with that.
