i know udev is a better solution *today*, but i'm trying to strictly
reproduce what the old system was using, and it wasn't mounting that
HD via udev, it was doing it via autofs. so the question remains --
does it make sense to not have a real /mnt directory? i have no idea
where it went, but i'm quite sure a normal debian install would create
one, no?
