/dev/sda2 doesn't have a file system on it, so you can't mount
it (unless you're forgetting to tell us something)./

Sure.
mke2fs /dev/sda2
or
mke2fs -c /dev/sda2
or
mkfs -t ext2 -c /dev/sda2
etc. Unless you'd prefer some other filesystem on the device :-)
Then,
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda2 /directory
should be happy.
