As you can see from my reply, I wasn't talking about the auto option of the

Just load the modules that you know that you'll need (and, then, auto will
test those modules), compile the driver in the kernel or list the
filesystems in /etc/filesystems (which mount checks).
Hope this helps, Rogério Brito.
