I would like all my partitions to automount on boot. Whenever I edit /etc/fstab and reboot, something (somewhere) is appending entries to the file. I think it may be autofs but 'cat /proc/filesystems' doesn't show it and there is no /etc/auto.master file (as per online docs elsewhere). Can anyone set me straight on how to get all the partitions to mount on boot?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds obvious so forgive me if it is..... but I assume you are talking about a hard drive install here? And that you are editing /etc/fstab as root?

Yes, this is a HD install and I'm am root. In addition to hda3 and hdb, I also would like to automount sda1, a usb device. All devices work fine when I mount them manually; I just can't figure out how to configure them to automount, since the doc on autofs suggest a different structure than what I find in DSL (see previous post).

I wish I was posting with an answer, but unfortunately I'm posting to say that I'm also having this same problem. I have swap on hda1 and a partition on hda3 that I would like to mount at boot but can't seem to make it happen.

If you read the faq on hard drive install, it mentions that the hard drive installed system runs the same as the liveCD with autodetection of hardware. Therefore the /etc/fstab is rebuilt upon reboot. That is accomplished within the script /etc/.init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. Your choices are:
1. hack the knoppix-autoconfig script (not as easy as you may wish)
2. add your mount commands to .bash_profile
3. create new runlevel 5 scripts to mount the drives.
4. wait until the next release for an easy to use bootlocal script.
