Well I guess it should look like a disk so try
$ modprobe sd_mod
[N.B. In very recent 2.4 test kernels this has
been changed from "sd_mod" to "sd". Hopefully that 
was a mistake and has been changed back.] Also doing 
"modprobe sd_mod" will load the "scsi_mod.o" module.

Then you should have an active /dev/sda device (assuming 
you don't already have SCSI disks in your system). Now try:
$ fdisk /dev/sda
and use the "p" option to view partitions. You may be able
to "mount" something. If the disk is empty, create a
partition (ext2) with fdisk and then use mke2fs to 
create a fs on it (e.g. "mke2fs /dev/sda1"), then 
mount it (e.g. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt).
