Re: mounting a second drive

I have a second drive that I use as a backup drive. Im needing to do

I had set this up a long time ago to do so automatically at boot but
apparently something happened along the way and it is no longer doing
that.
I thought that the command was "mount /dev/sbd1" but I am incorrect.

Try "pmount /dev/sdb1" instead. If you want to mount it at boot time,
create an entry in /etc/fstab for the device.
