The magic is done by the "hotplug" system in these lines in function 
load_drivers() in /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions:

        if echo "$MODULE" | grep -q "usb-storage" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
            [ -x /usr/sbin/updfstab ] &&  /usr/sbin/updfstab
        fi

See 'man hotplug' and 'man updfstab' for the rest of details

It should be possible with some motherboard/BIOS combinations.
