I have a USB Hard disk and it works great. I can mount it easily once
everything is booted up.
The problem is that if I put it in /etc/fstab to be mounted on boot up
the usb modules are not yet loaded into the kernel. So there is no
/dev/sda1 available.
So I am assuming that I need to get usb-storage to be insmod or
modprobe
in before the "Mounting local filesystems" part runs.
Can anyone give me a clue on how to do this?
John,
One way, build the appropriate modules into the initrd.

I had the same problem with my 120Gbyte usb hard disk.
What I wanted with a big /usr on that disk, so I did the
fsck -p /dev/sda1 and
mount /dev/sda1 /usr
in the file /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit just after the block what starts with
# Initialize USB controller and HID devices
