I'd guessit should work the same way as under any other circumstances
- the drive should be accessible as a pseudo-SCSI device (/dev/sdf or
some such) and then you just mount whatever partition you want to use
and off you go.

- plug your USB drive
- check the server logs (/var/log/messages) to see the device name (/dev/sdXY) 
assigned to the detected USB drive
- Use/create a mount point: /mnt/ZZZ by example
- mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/ZZZ
