It is possible to mount smbfs from fstab. From your line i see that you
have a ":" to much and some of the "/" changed to "\". The line should
look like this:

\\ipaddres/dirname /dirname smbfs username=testid,password=testpw 0 0 

And ofcourse, if you want it to automount at boot you change the last 0
to 1.

Best regards,
