Subject: [gentoo-user] External hard disk doesn't mount on boot

1 Right, so I have an external USB hard drive always hooked up to my
2 machine. I've a listing in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot.
3 Unfortunately, the drive does not boot because localmount can't find
4 /dev/sda1. Now, after the boot process I can find /dev/sda1 and mount
5 the drive just fine, leading me to believe that localmount tries to
6 mount the drive without populating /dev with USB devices.

8 How could I resolve this?
