Re: Need help getting a firewire HD to automount during boot in Suse

[Herbie <technowombat@yahoo.com>]

Check the order of your init scripts. I'd imagine that the firewire card 
and attached devices need to be scanned and initialised, and this is 
likely happening after the system mounts all drives.

I'd set the entry in fstab to noauto and simply add mount /websites to 
either the end of the firewire init script, or in rc.local (which should 
be at S99, yes?)
