trying to mount usbfs in fstab (SOLVED)

I need usbfs in order to use usb in parallels or vmware.
I can mount usbfs with following command:

# mount -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb

However, if I add this to the fstab:

usbfs    /proc/bus/usb   usbfs    default   0 0

"/proc/bus/usb" does not get mounted.

Did I miss something?

Now there's a coincidence. The same issue has just come up on the mailing list as well - and brain0 has provided the solution.

I was just about to post a similar thing (using vmware), but the solution from brain0 works great!
Thanks to all of you...
