I'm looking to do the exact same thing as the original reporter. I have some partitions on a secondary drive that is not always connected to my system. If the secondary drive is present at boot I would like the partitions mounted, if it is not, I would like the system to continue without any notice or prompting. Like the original reporter, I first tried the nofail option, which was ignored. I then found this report. I've tried the timeout option but it too appears to be ignored and receive the following prompt for each partition:
The disk drive for $path is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.
