This is what I did just yesterday in a similar situation (I didn't know
which device my DOS drive E: was located on, I just knew it was the
second disk); this is bash, not (t)csh:
for x in /dev/sd1*; do
mount -t msdos $x /e
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
break;
fi
done
so, as soon as a mount operation is successful, the loop terminates
(have no worry about already-mounted disks - you get a "disk busy"
message).
Of course, you have to replace sd1* with your resp. device.
cheers
Michael
