i created directory 'mgm' under /mnt so there would be an empty /mnt/mgm

Here is my actual fstab and attempt to manually mount the disk..
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/mgm ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
debian:/etc# mount /dev/hdc1
mount: special device /dev/hdc1 does not exist
debian:/etc# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/mgm
mount: special device /dev/hdc1 does not exist
cd to /mnt (there are currently two dir here)
kirk-mike <<-NFS mount point that works fine.
( mount 192.168.1.10:/home/mike/data/ kirk-mike/ )
mgm <<- to mount point for the new ide disk.
(that does not work at all)
debian:/mnt# mount mgm
mount: special device /dev/hdc1 does not exist
debian:/mnt#

Mdk, RH, SUSE, Connectiva, and others have always detected my new hw on boot
and I've grown used to the convience and now sarge seems like a big step
backwards in that regard even though it is superior in other aspects...
I'm also haveing issues with my SB Live audio card but that'll have to be ya
