Failure mounting extra partition on boot

["Bruce" <bestb@sympatico.ca>]

I have a rather strange problem that I can't figure out. I have two ext3
partitions on my Sid system, with the following lines in /etc/fstab:

 /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 defaults,auto,users,exec,noatime,notail 0 0

hda3 is my root partition; hda1 was a Windows partition, reformatted to
ext3. Problem is, only the / partition will mount on boot.

Once I have booted, I try the following:

 root@0[bruce]# mount /mnt/hda1
 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
       or too many mounted file systems
 root@0[bruce]#

However, it will mount properly if I give the following command

 root@0[bruce]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
 root@0[bruce]#

Running sid, installed via Mepis.

Not quite sure what is wrong with my /etc/fstab that /mnt/hda1 doesn't
mount on boot.

Ideas?

Thanks,

B.
