The last parameter of the /disk2 mount line in your fstab is the number 2.
I don't recall ever using that number there, only 0 or 1 - mostly 0.
Maybe that is the problem. You could try ato add "auto" to the options
string, but I think "defaults" is supposed to include that.
Then again, I'm no expert in the fstab syntax.

Does disk2 mount manually after boot when you type "mount -a" ?
