How to access external HD thru terminal

I have an external HD, from an old 15" PB, connected via USB to my G5 (2.3). How can I access it thru the terminal? When I issue an ls command for items on the desktop, the HD doesn't appear, although it does appear as an icon on the desktop. I'd like to retrieve some files on there that are .Trash.
