Sorry, I forgot that people are trying to use Juno, am I correct? In which case, I beleive the Android port is being kept 'close to AOSP' so doesn't have any Linaro patches for proper device integration. So you'll have to mount it by hand, something like:
Yes, this is on Juno.
but then I beleive Android won't actually see this as official 'external storage', so that may have an effect on what you can do with it.
Yes, so in the storage option of the settings menu, I see 488MB of internal memory. If I mount the sdcard using mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda6 /mnt, would I have to manually install apps in the sdcard location? cause surely Android can’t see it?
Thanks, Varun

And how would one go about doing that? Is it simply a mount /dev/* from the terminal? What’s the best way to find out the device name for the sdcard in this case?
It's is automatically mounted, it's at the path in the variable $EXTERNAL_STORAGE and there's a symlink at /sdcard/.
