Selecting USB drive directory via terminal (Debian)?

Question

Debian

By mistake, I installed bare debian, without a graphical shell, empty. Basically I don't want to change to a ready-made distribution, and therefore I'm trying to install the initial packages. To begin with, how can you access the drive through the terminal? the system defines it as sdb1 (and there is also no fdisk, I found out through lsblk), the fat32 file system. I do not understand the folder hierarchy, and the location of the connected devices. Mounting mount /dev/sdb1fails, it also ls /dev/sdb1says that this is not a folder.

Answer 1

if you mount - you need to specify where. For example:

mkdir -p /mnt/flash
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash

ls as you use it says everything is correct: /dev/sdb1 is not a folder, but a device file.
