I have been looking over the tutorial for automounting removable
devices  at http://www.caia.swin.edu.au/reports/041130A/ , and have
come to one interesting point. It has the fstab line:
 /dev/da0                /mnt/usbflash       auto    noauto          0       0

However, my system doesn't appear to support 'auto' as an fstype. I
assume that it would guess the filesystem type ala Linux, which is
about the only thing I miss about the mount system there.
Can this actually be made to work easily on FreeBSD, or is this
tutorial using an untested fstab entry?

(Please keep me CCd).
