This used to be possible with the gnome-mount command, which could mount
a device from the commandline, or change the defaults, like setting a
fixed mountpoint under /media. The program seems to be missing from
current Fedora releases. The closest thing I could find to a replacement
is pmount ('yum install pmount'  will get it for you).

Now I think you'll need to know the device name in order to mount it;
how I use it is:
  pmount /dev/sdb1
which mounts my usb disk as /media/sdb1 . The man page will probably
give you the information you need to make it do what you need it to do.
