You probably don't want to use /mnt as a permanent mount-point. Its
usually reserved for temporary stuff.
You might want to consider naming the mount point something intuitive like
"/dos"....
# mkdir /dos
# vi /etc/fstab
<add the next line>
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults 1 2
save and type "mount -a".
# ..
# and i've checked in fstab to look for any line on my hda1 .. there isn't
#
# can anyone tell me the line there should be in fstab ; these are my

# /dev/hda1 - vfat ( win95 )
# /dev/hda5 - linux

Normal users can only mount/umount partitions that have the "user" options
(placed after default ala:
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults,user 1 2
You normally don't want this.)
# i want it to be read & write
No problem. It defaults to that.
# i want it to automount on start ..
Defaults to that, too. FYI: To make it NOT be mounted at boot, add the
option of "noauto"...
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults,user,noauto 1 2
But you probably just want to use my first example and have it mounted at
boot and stay mounted.
