It probably depends on what kind of reader you're using. I have a
SanDisk Cruzer, which is a USB keychain reader that holds an SD card
(a great deal by the way -- you can find the reader + card for the
same price as just the card). With the usb-storage and sd_mod modules
loaded in the kernel, it appears as a one-partition SCSI disk, so I
just "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sd". The SD cards typically come formatted
with VFAT filesystems. Some or all of this can be automated with
hotplug.
