The USB drive used to show up as /media/disk and I could reference it
from the command line, e.g. "dir /media/disk". Now it seems to be
/dev/sdc1 and "dir /dev/sdc1" doesn't do anything useful. How can I
reference the USB drive from the command line?

Another step backwards:-(

If it's openSUSE 11.2 it could be this bug

In that case you have to mount it first with the newly inserted devices
in the panel. Takes some time at first.

Just use 'df' to find where /dev/sdc1 is mounted. On most variants of
'df' the mountpoint is mentioned in the last column.

Thanks, it appears the drive is not automatically mounted any more.
