Bug Description

Hello! This is quite major problem! Many MP3 players and memory sticks have been formatted as a big FAT32 filesystems. Usually a device is registered as harddisk (/dev/sda for example) and it has a FAT32 partition on it (/dev/sda1), but many players have only /dev/sda which is the partition itself formatted as FAT32. I think the nautilus mounting utility should be modified accordingly so if it detects only /dev/sda it could be dumb-user mountable too.

I'm using latest Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and it does not! Yesterday I plugged in
friend's MP3 player (It was some sort of Dunlop player), only /dev/sda node
was created. When I tried to double click on icon in nautilus then pmount
gave me some sort of error, but when i manually mounted it "mount /dev/sda
/media/mp3" then it worked.
