Darrick,

Thanks for the pointer.  After adding a line to dynamically include my
device in the creation of fstab it would still not work.  The device and
parameters were correctly added to fstab but the partition was not mounted
during bootup.  I ended up having also explicitly mount the partition later
in the /etc/rc file.  That did the trick regardless of whether or not it was
in fstab.

Thanks,
Larry

The fstab is created dynamically each boot by /etc/rc. Edit that file 
and you should be good to go.
