only part of the answer. Not sure which kernel you have. I _think_ with 2.4 
kernel, your only option is to write a daemon which periodically checks if 
there is a filesystem at e.g. /dev/sda1, and if there is it mounts it.
Beware, you'd also need code to unmount it and inform the daemon not to 
re-mount the file system until it has "gone away and come back".
