hi robin

donno if its been answered or not... ( been away from email for a week )

-- first make sure your amn manually mount the partition

you need to fix /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc
        ( auto.misc is something that is referenced from auto.master

/etc/auto.master
        /.autofs        /etc/auto.misc  --timeout 600

/etc/auto.misc
        win98   -fstype=vfat    :/dev/hdb1

ln -s /Win98  /.autofs/win98

when you refernce anything in /Win98... autofs will automount
it to /.autofs

have fun linuxing
