Every time I boot I have to tell Linux to mount my secondary master, a MS-Dos

By any chance, is your CD-Drive old enough not to support multisession
CDs?
Multisession?
This CD-ROM drive comes from 1996, and my other one is probably older
(it's a 4X).
A number of dual-mode CDs are multisession...
This CD is dates 1996.
Certainly. Do a "man fstab" at a shell prompt to get full details, but
the file /etc/fstab is read on boot time to configure who and how
everything in the system is automatically booted.
Some examples from my own below:
/dev/hda5 / ext2defaults1 1
I have:
hda primary (W95)Master
hdb secondary Master(NT and the rest, each 2074megs each 4 all together)
