Mounting external drives (what's the scoop?)

	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.
