No dice on changing the memory addresses. Your suggestion didn't work,

Any other ideas anybody?

I'm pretty sure that's what I have set up on my Linux box. I'm booted into

Essentially, all you need to do is replace 'vfat' with the

/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos1 default msdos default 0 0
Then when rebooting the partition at hda1 will be mounted and available at /mnt/dos1.
You could also test it by entering "mount

Assuming, for the moment, that you have a mount point created and described
in FSTAB, I'll take a stab at how to tell Linux to mount the drive for a
particular person. You'll probably need to specify "user, noauto" in your
entry in FSTAB to permit ANY user to mount/unmount that drive and to
