Where systemd is in use, removable drives should not need to be listed
in /etc/fstab, they should be handled properly and mounted under
/media. I don't have firewire either, it's OK with USB.
If they are listed in fstab, the 'nofail' option must be added or else
booting will fail if they are not present. systemd assumes that all
non-network drives listed in fstab are essential for booting unless
they have 'nofail' specified.
