        Asunto: [gentoo-user] Mounting /dev/sdaX on boot does not work

hi,

i have external hard drive connected through usb. i put the following line 
into /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb ext3 user,auto,exec 0 0
but localmount reports the problem of not finding /dev/sda1.

when i tried to call mount  -at .. after the boot proces in local.start it 
proceeds well.
what is responsible for initializing of /dev/sda1? or have i forgotten to 
add something into fstab?

thanks,
pavel

Most probably fstab isn't be the problem, but loaded modules. The modules 
needed to handle USB connections must be loaded before you try to mount 
any USB disk, although I'm not sure whether this is possible and/or 
advisable. My suggestion is compiling this modules directly into the 
kernel, that way you make sure you have USB support from the very 
beginning.

HTH,
Abraham
