USB probs

Mount problems with Puppy Linux distro
fstab info
#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/USB
The USB stick is not visible in mount window. The light on the USB stick is on.
#mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

#lsmod

usbcore 127128 6 usblp,usbhid,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd

The module that appears to be missing is uhci_hcd which is the driver for basic USB1.0 support.
#modprobe uhci_hcd
if you can't detect a flash drive, it may be necessary to put the command earlier in the boot process. Locate the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the above line to the end of the file. Then reboot.
#lsmod
At the risk of asking the obvious, did you try clicking the Refresh button? USB devices are not always detected immediately by Pmount.
