Hi Peter...
Make sure your kernel supports autofs
a. cat /proc/filesystems - see if autofs is listed
b. if autofs is NOT listed:
- recompile your kernel w/ autofs support --OR--
-or- insmod autofs.o
c. make sure you have autofs and the config files installed...
- ls -l /usr/lib/autofs the autofs libraries
- /etc/auto.{misc,master} or equivalents
- make sure your autofs mount directory exists ( /amount1 in your case ?? )
- you already have the automount binary somewhere
have fun
