- Under "Code maturity level options" select
"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers".
- Then under "Filesystems" select "Kernel automounter support (experimental)".
- Then recompile and reboot after installing the kernel and updating
lilo or loadlin or whatever.
- Install the autofs deb package.
- RTFM: man autofs, man auto.master, man auto.misc, cd /usr/doc/autofs
Yes it is safe to use.

Sorry, can't help with this one.
