Thanks for the prompt replies!
So the command lines*
ConsoleMessage "mounting directories"
mount -t hfs /dev/disk**** /disk-name
force a manual mount within the /etc/rc file rather than from fstab which is the conventional way of mounting drives.
Guess it's kinda like ejecting CD's in the old OS without dragging the icon to the trash; while it worked, it wasn't the correct way?
So many new things to learn about the Unix sub-system... <sigh>
Cheers.

It is a function of unix to mount file systems from the fstab. I'd use the method described by efoivx in this thread. It shows a better understanding of the unix subsystem. |
