Well - I'm setting up some semi-automated things regarding CDROMs, and
if the system goes down; I'd like the cdrom automatically mounted.
(If a CD isn't in the drive, the mount could simply fail.)

So; I added an etry to /etc/fstab like:

/dev/cd0a	/cdrom	cd9660 r 0 0


from which 'mount' complains:

fstab: /etc/fstab:5: Inappropriate file type or format


For version 2.1 (or what ever is next) could we consider augmenting
/etc/fstab to handle this?  Also, how about msdosfs, etc...

	- Thanks -
