>Description:
For utilities that rely on fstab (mount, fsck, ...),
the lookup in fstab(5) fails until the table is
re-read; usually a re-read via reboot.
This happens when a new entry is added to fstab(5)
and you immediately try to use it.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the system with a new piece of hardware(ie. CROM drive)
Add an entry to fstab, then try to reference it in
a mount command.

example:
# mount /cdrom3

>Fix:
Workaround: add to fstab and reboot system.
