I've been following this thread, and I haven't noticed this answered
completely yet.
I have the following lines in /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdc1 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdc2 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdc3 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,rw,user 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win95 vfat noauto,rw,user 0 0
Note the entries for /dev/hdb (cdrom), /dev/fd0 (1st floppy drive), and
/dev/hda1 (Windows partition)(yeah, I know. my wife insists).
This states that (as an example) /dev/fd0 is to be mounted at /mnt/floppy, is
a vfat file system (I don't think vfat is supported by the default kernel-u
might use msdos instead), is not to be auto mounted at system boot (might not
be any- thing there!), is mounted read/write, and is mountable by any user.
Hope this helps.
