It did not work that way for me. But I created my partitions
under /mnt, so maybe that's why. Also, I created them after installing
and edited the fstab accordingly, rather than creating them during the
installation and having the installer add them to fstab. I *think* if
you do it during installation, then you might get the results you want.
All I did was add each partition (in my case, /mnt/audio, /mnt/video,
etc.) to the bookmarks with Nautilus: menu item "Bookmarks => +Add
bookmark." That added them to the Nautilus sidebar and to the Places
menu on the Gnome panel. Since all I need is quick access to these
particular partitions, that works fine for me.
