As it turns out, I couldn't find rc.local, so I went with /etc/fstab. SuSE was already calling my dos and windows partitions 'vfat' so I didn't see any reason to argue with it. It worked the first time, too.
I agree that /etc/fstab is the right place to do this sort of thing, and I'm glad to hear that you got it to work the first time. Who ever said that Linux was hard?! FYI: regarding the reference to a file called rc.local. On a SuSE system, it is called /etc/rc.d/rc and one shouldn't muck with it unless one really knows what is going on. It is part of a set of programs called "init scripts" which get executed when booting or shuting down the computer.
