so hopefully this means the same thing as the standard instructions, with me replacing sdb for sdc. Before I go on to making a back up copy of this disc, it would be great if someone could confirm that I am on the right track so far. Thanks, Roberto.

Definitely. This particular bit is showing that (at least) two partitions on /dev/sdb were automatically mounted. You'll get a fuller view if you type the "tail -f /var/log/syslog" before plugging in the card reader. The "-f" on the tail command means that the command continues to display anything that is added to the file after the command is run. If it's already running when you plug in your card, you should see the USB information as it loads the device. Since the mounted partitions (sdb5 and sdb6) match the layout of the Vox, though, I think we can safely say that sdb is your card. In my instructions, then, you will replace sdc with sdb.
