Why do you want to use automount for this? Just mount it.
man fstab.

When I try to mount /dev/hdb as shown in the KDE hardware browser, the
following unhelpful error message is given:
mount: can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
which is surprising since the drive is known to the hardware browser and
was identified during FC3 installation. FC3 is installed on a partition
of hda.
One wonders why and how FC3 fails to make available a known FAT32 250GB
hdd subsequent to installation-nothging was asked about wanting to use
this drive or not.
And why can the KDE hardware browser see it if it's not in the
/etc/fstab or in /etc/mtab ?
This seems to be a pretty poor performance by the system.
Also the built-in soundcard was recognised during installation, but was
subsequently dumb. Issuing the command system-config-soundcard caused it
to be correctly identified again and test sounds to be played. But that
surely should not have been necessary post installation ?
