Cannot mount the HandyCam

Cannot figure this one out, although I've been working at it for 3 hours, Googling included.

My system at home, kernel 2.4.21, recognizes the HandyCam when I plug it in over USB. But it doesn't associate the usb-storage driver with it. Nothing shows up in /proc/scsi except the stuff already there. So when I go to mount /proc/sda1 or any of those devices:

# mount -v -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera/
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

It's one of those occasions where I wish I knew how some of this actually works, because it must be really simple if you do.
