Of course it will--/etc/fstab is read *before* NetInfo starts.
Put your local hard drives in /etc/fstab, and your NFS mounts
in NetInfo.

	[/etc/fstab]
	/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
	/dev/sd1a /External 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2

This will cause the external disk to be properly mounted at boot
time, and the automounter will leave it alone.

>same problems as you. We had to add to our /etc/mtab file the following  

No! No! No!  /etc/mtab is maintained by the mount(8) utility to
parallel the kernel's mount state.  You should not ever be
editing this file.  (And if you really do need to add something
to /etc/mtab--and I doubt you ever will--the correct way is to
use  mount -f)
