This is basically a wishlist bug for casper to build /etc/fstab.  People
using the GNOME gui from the livecd can get partitions mounted through
nautilus and GNOME's device manager stuff, which can handle removable as
well as static drives.  /etc/fstab isn't needed for that.

 It would be nice to have an fstab, but it would be hard to do it
perfectly (in the face of removable devices, esp. hotplug SATA/e-SATA).
If having an fstab doesn't interfere with GNOME's device manager, then
naively putting all devices detected at boot time into it would be nice.

 Otherwise, it's better to avoid creating bugs for GUI on the live CD,
at least by default.  Customized livecd users who like fstab might want
to add something to set up an fstab...
