On my system (1998) I used usb-uhci with my camera. If you have a USB
kernel, assuming everything's modular, here's what you need to do:

Plug in device.
insmod scsi_mod
insmod sd_mod
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-uhci
insmod usb-storage
mount /dev/sda /mountpoint

Pictures/files show up somewhere under /mountpoint. On my camera it's
/mountpoint/dcim/100_fuji/*.jpg. This also works with ANY mass storage
disk device (floppy drive, hard disk, card reader). Note disk: mass
storage CDROMs and burners don't work this way. You need a different
SCSI module (the CD/burner one) and the CD scsi device.
