I'm going to jump in here rather than start a new thread

I've got my sd card to mount using the command: 

mount -t vfat /dev/sdcard0/disk0/part1 /mnt/sdcard

but I'd like to add it into my /etc/fstab. I have had no success at
all with this. my fstab line is :

/dev/sdcard0/disk0/part1 /mnt/sdcard vfat defaults 0 0

when I try a mount -a it fails with the message "mount: Mounting
/dev/sdcard0/disk0/part1 on /mnt/sdcard failed: No such file or
directory" This confuses me because I know both my mount point and my
device are present and my ability to manually mount them means that
they are configured correctly.

oh and I have checked that I am not trying to mount an already mounted
device.


Anyone have any advice?
