- OK. I'm really confused.
-
- I have a NeXTstation with an internal 400 Mb. drive from which
- the system boots. I have two external 1.2 Gb. drives.
-
- Let's say I power up the system. It goes through its usual
- startup procedure. Among other things, it looks for disks and (in the
- verbose startup display) prints some info about all three drives. Then
- it halts at the login screen. Fine.
-
- So I log in. When the browser window opens, there's a brief
- pause while the system spins up the two external drives -- then icons
- for the external drives appear on the shelf. At this point (I figure),
- the external drives are mounted. Fine again.
-
- But when I telnet to the machine and log in under the same
- account, the external drives are _not_ mounted. No matter what I do
- (not much, considering my limited knowledge of Unix), I can't "see"
- those drives.
-
- I think what I _really_ want is for all the drives to be
- mounted at boot time (i.e., not when I log in).
-
- Once again, I'd be grateful for any suggestions...
-
- Thanks.
-
- Michael.
