Bug Description
Hoary Preview - adding partitions to fstab (with noauto in the options) does not
result in the creation of an icon in the Computer object. Such partitions must
be mounted manually from the command line and even then, no icon for the mounted
partition appears on the desktop. This is very annoying on a multi-boot machine.
Clean install on an IBM Thinkpad T23, Hoary Preview. The machine has Win2K Pro
plus OS/2 4.5 installed. Partitions for these operating systems were not added
to fstab during the install, and manually adding them has the behaviour
described above.

I can reproduce this. It works fine if the mount point is somewhere in /media,
but it does not work if it is e. g. /mnt. Can you confirm this?
