Ok, so I have a firewire drive that I backup to. There is an ext3 file
system on it. I have an entry in /etc/fstab so it gets mounted at boot.

The problem is this: during boot, this machine (debian) wants to fsck
the drive. This wouldn't be a problem, except that that the 1394 drivers
and the device have not been set up yet. So, fsck fails and I get the
whole "hit control-d for normal bootup" thing.

This is a server, and I want it to boot...

I imagine I could add a line to rc.local and mount the drive manually.
But, there has got to be a correct way to do it.

Is there a flag in fstab that says don't fsck the drive? Or can I get the
drive setup before fsck is run (prefered)?

namaste,
Mark
