How to automatically mount usb drive?

I've been looking at the man pages for autofs and automount, and still
can't mount my usb drive automatically, under Fedora Core 7. I normally
mount it like this:

mount -t vfat -o rw,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,_netdev,utf8,owner,uid=fred
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb


I've started autofs and was playing with the auto.master file, but
nothing I tried worked. Can someone please tell me how to add this
entry to the auto.master file, and have it mount automatically?


-Thanks
