I don't know which version of Linux you're using. I'm using Mepis, which is KDE-based, and when I click on the icon for the iLiad on the desktop, it opens a window, and the title bar of the window is "media:/sdb". Assuming your Linux does the same, the bit after the / is the bit you should put after /dev/ in the command. I'm not an expert on the command line either, so if you need a more technical explanation, you'll have to hope someone else answers!
