You mean you can mount them manually, right?

It mentions detecting them, I assume, not mounting them?

Edit fstab to include the other filesystems you want mounted.
"man fstab" if need be.

Nope, that means the kernel has found them fine and you just need to tell
init to mount them at boot time.

Well, Michael Hunt did tell me to:
"Please go back [to my "world where you have a clouded judgement that has

us get some real work helping people done."
So I hope this counts as "real work helping people".
