I just put a USB hard drive into service, but find that unless the drive

Below is the line I added to fstab. I thought that the option "noauto"
would prevent the machine from trying to mount the drive
/dev/sdb /usbdrive ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 2
What am I doing wrong? Any advice is welcome.
What is on the drive? If it's something critica, such as your /home or
/etc directory, then of course the system won't make it to runlevel 5
without it.
Also bear in mine the boot order in your machines BIOS
settings.
