I have a laptop that came with a flash card reader. Mandrake (9.2)

/mnt/removable shows up when I start up and sometimes it doesn't. When
it doesn't show up on boot I don't know how to get it mounted.
$ mount /mnt/removable
mount: can't find /mnt/removable in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
The only fix I have been able to find is to stick the
flash card in the reader and then reboot.
What would be a better way of getting my getting the drive mounted?
Cheers,

Maybe if you tried running the command below with the flash drive plugged in,
as super user, you wouldn't have to reboot.
mount -a
That should mount anything the file system table has specified. Take a look
at /etc/mtab, run the command above and have another look. mtab lists what's
mounted, based on the configuration in /etc/fstab.
Maybe we'll see something if you post a copy of both fstab and mtab.
