or flashdrive or jumpdrive or whatever you call it.
How do I go about mounting it? I'm not really sure what it'd be called.

You need (obvioulsy) USB support in your kernel.
The module (or built-in driver) which handles those dirves is called "usb-storage". You can enable it under Device Drivers -> USB Support -> USB Mass Storage Support.
You will also need "SCSI Disk Support" under the SCSI menu in menuconfig.
You will also need support for FAT32 (vfat) filesystems.
Your drive should then show up as /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 and you can mount it normally.
HTH.
