They mount on /media/devicename. If you want to override this, you
can create an entry in fstab, but this is definitely not compulsory. A
better way to change the mount name (IMO) is to use a udev rule to change
the device name. All my removable devices mount with meaningful
names. /media/cf, media/sd, /media/camera etc.
