The card and drive seem to be there based upon the info in /proc

Is the drive partitioned and formatted?  You have to mount the drive
before you can access it.

Try: 

fdisk /dev/sda       (setup partitions)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1  (make linux filesystem on first partition of drive)
mkdir /mnt/scsidrive
mount /dev/sda1 -t ext3 /mnt/scsidrive  (mount the drive)
ls /mnt/scsidrive     (you should see lost+found but nothing else)


good luck!
