Hi,

i have a card reader in my computer, but want to mount my external hard
drive at boot-up.
Sometimes the external hard drive is on /dev/sdb or /dev/sdf...

So what is the best way to:
- either make it only use one of these paths?
- Tell which one it is on and if it is the external hard drive?
- How do I mount it then at boot up?

Thanks for any help,

I don't use x11 since I am blind though.
Otherwise it wouldn't be an issue, gnome would mount it for me.

Thanks anyway,
