I mention this in the HAL FAQ in question 3 (How do I mount media using HAL): NOTE: Volumes that you wish to manage using hal should NOT be listed in /etc/fstab. This is especially true for CD devices and floppy disk devices. What if I extend this note to mention the error you might see if the fstab entry is still present?
