:I can't get automount to work. Has anyone had any success with it? I have the
:autofs module compiled for my kernel and loaded (2.2.18), and the autofs
:mounter is running, and scripts for it area appended.

I live and die by this, though my setup is different (using NIS based
auto.<foo> maps)

I suspect it's working but not how you expect.  Put a CDROM in and "cd
/cd-rw/cd". note that you may create the /cd-rw directory (if it
doesnt't exist that's ok too), you must *not* create any
sub-directories.

Like wise the floppy disk will be mounted as /floppy/floppy with this setup.

The ":" in ":/dev/fd0" seems odd to me, but that seems part of the
example.  All my automount are NFS so they're host:/path....
