The way I've done this in the past is by editing my fstab file to read
as follows:
//server/public /home/curtis/Public smb
username=curtis,password=xxxxxx,uid=curtis,gid=curtis
If I indicate, as you say, smbfs, then I get the following error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //server/public or
too many mounted file systems.

are you talking about windows partitions or windows network shares?
sounds like you mean windows network shares (samba). if so, you need to specify
the smbfs mount type, not smb, e.g.
mount -t smbfs -o username=foo //a_pc/a_share /localmountpoint
not /sure/ which packages you'll need.
apt-get install smbclient
should do the trick.
if its a local windows hard drive partition,
mount -t vfat/fat/etc... /dev/partition_name /localmountpoint

What's an easy way, if such exists, to get smb kernel support? I get
the following error when I try to mount windows partitions:
mount: fs type smb not supported by kernel
