The sd card should appear under /dev/mmcblk0.  *If* it has partitions,
the first partition would appear as /dev/mmcblk0p1.  It's like with a
new disk, you may want to partition it and format to be able to mount.
 Another prerequisite is that the mmc driver is either built into the
kernel or the module is inserted.

Please check what image is added by MokoMakefile through -sd.  You can
create and format a new image with

$ qemu-img create my-sd.image 200M
Formating 'my-sd.image', fmt=raw, size=204800 kB
$ mkfs.ext3 my-sd.image

and you can mount it with mount /dev/mmcblk0 /mount/point

2GB and bigger cards won't work.

Cheers
