That's not right, though. "/dev/hdb" is the complete disk. That most likely won't work. Try mounting "/dev/hdb1", as in the first partition on /dev/hdb. Like this:
#> mount /dev/hdb1 /tmp
if it complains about not knowing which filesystem it is (it might find out automagically), then try
#> mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /tmp
or
#> mount -t msdos /dev/hdb1 /tmp
Harddisks are different from some usb-sticks formated under windows and almost all cd/dvd's, in that a hard disk wants a partition, even if it's only one.
(notice how everything on a harddisk appearing in the
#> mount
output has a number after the devicename...)
