I login as root
then
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
Here is the error msg
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

How can I fix this problem?

You need to put spaces between the arguments:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
You might also need to call it /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1

Problem solved by reinstall DSL
for some reason
I did not plug usbdrive during dsl-hdinstall so it did not remember that I have usbdrive

Now I try to plug it during dsl-hdinstall and it works :)

usbdrive did not function again
I notice that each time I reboot
Code Sample
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive auto users,noauto,exec,umask=000  0 0
 
keep adding everytime one by one
Now I have this line repeat over 10 times

That problem has been fixed in the next release. It only occurs with hard drive installed systems. But should not cause  mounting problems. Until then you can just delete the extras.
