I am using qemu, with the -usb option. DSL is detecting my USB thumb drive, but how do I mount/access files on the usb drive connected to my pc? Thanks in advance...

Just mount it with the mount tool, then open emelfm and goto /mnt/ sda1.

If they are registered as USB mass storage devices, I would expect that you could mount them from the command line with:

mount /mnt/sda1
mount /mnt/sdb1

Keep in mind you will need to wait 10-20 seconds when plugging them in before you will be able to mount.

We are talking of Qemu here, so it's Qemu recognizing the usb device not DSL. The usb device is inserted before booting qemu, hence the device is already recognized by the filesystem.

You can mount the usb device wherever you want. I suggest that you mkdir /usb and mount the device on that directory, being root.
