Right you are! I hadn't noticed "noauto". In fact, I checked my own
/etc/fstab and similar entries are there on my system. Apparently
the Debian Installer puts them there by default on the i386 platform.
On the s390 platform, where I routinely edit this file, it does not.
Funny, I never noticed that before.
Unfortunately, this little side trip is doing nothing to help the user.
