Indeed, no. And putting a CD-ROM in doesn't mean I want to mount it or read it. And putting in a memory stick doesn't mean I want to read it either. But, well over 99% of the time, these things are what I want to do. If I want to do something else with the DVD, well, I close the movie player and do something else. But 99% of the time, I'm grateful for the time it saves me. Also, if I'm the type who only ever inserts DVDs to rip them or do other nefarious things, I can always set up the system to *not* open the movie player automatically. But then most BSD users see things differently. How does the system know that I *want* /dev/ad1s2c mounted as /usr/local? I may sometimes want it mounted as /opt instead. For maximum flexibility, boot in single user mode with a ramdisk, and then mount all disks and start all services by hand.
