Since you're mentioning the wireless router, I am going to presume that the 
harddrive you're trying to mount is not attached to the computer you're trying to 
mount it on.

Please note that I have no experience with MacOSX, but being a Unix system I would 
presume the mounting procedure was at least similar to that of GNU/Linux:

+ Ensure the 'mount point' exists (eg /mnt/newdrive).
+ Ensure the device is present (eg /dev/sdXX, /dev/wd0s1c, whatever).
+ Ensure the filesystem you're trying to use is supported (MacOSX uses UFS, doesn't 
it?).
+ Mount... eg: mount -t ufs /dev/XXXX /mnt/newdrive

==Grant.
