My boot params don't include noauto, but my harddrive partitiions are not getting auto mounted on boot.
How can i make unknown external partitions mount on boot?
I don't want to hardcode the partitions into fstab or wherever, cuz want this OS to work with any drives.

mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT
mount $PARTITION $MOUNTPOINT
fi

done
exit 0

you're right, all partitions are mounted on boot.
the problem was, a directory panel applet wasn't loading the folders.

Reason i picked 'Other' was cuz on some OS's (Puppy, i think) that's the only one that works.
cheers!
