It seems that some OSes directly format the device without making a partition 
table, such that you have to actually mount /dev/sda for example.  Others 
make the partition table during the partition / format process and then 
you're looking at mounting /dev/sda1 for example.

No idea if that was actually the problem but I thought it worth mentioning.
