for the 8-10 seconds till it appears, i may have a similar problem with a kingston datatraveler 8Gb usb stick
its formatted to fat32, and the miggy has fat95 installed.
i plug the USB stick into the subway card on the A1200 (25Mhz 040)m and the machine goes into dead slow mode, mouse moves jerkily, window redraws, you can see the lines being drawn onto the screen, and the activity light on the usb drive goes nuts... for about 8-10 seconds.
i had a shell window open, and during this time i typed "info" to see if the drive was even mounted yet.
it was, and was listed as "validating"?
once this is complete, everything is fine.

sorry i have no idea why it's not showing up on reboot
