/etc/fstab
insert a line such as :
/dev/hda1 /cdrive vfat defaults 0 0
which will automatically mount the first partition on the first HD as a
VFAT filesystem under the 'cdrive' directory every time you boot.
It also allows you to mount and unmount the drive quickly using
'mount /cdrive' and 'umount /cdrive' respectively.
