Thanks to everyone who responded to my note.  I was confused by the statement
in the file /etc/fstab that said

 # NOTE: This file is never consulted if NetInfo is running. It is only
 # used during bootstrap.

I interpreted this to mean that the information in this file was somehow
completely ineffective if NetInfo was used.  So now I have edited this line
to say

# NOTE: This file is used to initialize disk partition status during bootstrap.
# It is not consulted while NetInfo is running, 

The consensus is that to provide indivdual file ownership and protection the
fstab file should follow the following format:

/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
/dev/sd0b /Clients 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2
/dev/sd1a /External 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2

where sd0a,b are partitions of the internal drive and sd1a is a partition of
the external SCSI drive.
