If you have and /etc/fstab, and you already know your usb flash disk is |
| 9 |
/dev/sda1, well, just add the right fstab entry. |

Mine looks this way: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable vfat noauto,async,user,exec 0 0 |

I think you refer to the |
| 26 |
"hey-my-usb-disk-appears-magically-on-my-desktop!" trick. I guess it's |
| 27 |
managed by HAL, you can have it on Gentoo too (don't ask me for info, |
| 28 |
since I don't use it) |
