You also have to ensure that /etc/init.d/localmount is run at boot
time. Since a whole bunch of services depend on it, that's probably
not an issue.
jogger-egg ~> grep localmount /etc/runlevels/default/*
/etc/runlevels/default/acpid: need localmount
/etc/runlevels/default/apmd: need localmount
/etc/runlevels/default/hdparm: need localmount
/etc/runlevels/default/vcron: need clock localmount logger
Most likely, you need to set CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS in your kernel.
