Well my fstab entry says
  /dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
  /dev/sd1a /Users 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 2

As far as I can tell from the documentation, this is what I'm  
supposed to say. 

Here's another strange thing that might help isolate the  
problem.  When I reboot, and login as a user,
I end up in the root directory.  If I logout and log back in  
again, I am in my home directory.
