auto execute mount on startup

[gcb]

i want to mount my /dev/hda1 partition (win98) on startup...

i tried to put 'auto' instead of 'noauto' in my fstab, but it gives all kinds of errors on startup...so, i was wondering...

is there anyway i can run the command:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

during the startup procedure...like autoexec.bat does for dos?

Can you mount the partition once your Linux has finish starting up and you are logged in?

What is the full line you have in your /etc/fstab and what are the errors you get?

Like MrBen wrote, print your line in fstab since it's the best way to automount the partition

Here's mine (FAT32 partition)
/dev/hda3 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat noauto,user,exec,umask=0,codepage=850,iocharset=is o8
