Have to manually mount... I'm lost...

For some reason, when ever I use either of my cd/dvd drives, I have to mount the thing manually.  This is my /etc/fstab:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660,udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1   iso9660,udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf,iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0   vfat   user,noauto   0      0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1

I'm not sure is that will help, because I have Hal installed.  When ever I insert a cd or dvd, there is no sign that I have done so, until I run this:

 mount -t udf,iso9660 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd

Afterwards, everything seems normal, but I was just curious as to how I could fix this.

Remove (or comment) /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd from your fstab. Then hal should take care of it.

Stop looking at my signature. It betrays your nature.

That's assuming you have the hal daemon listed in your DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf.

1) Yes, I do have Hal listed in /etc/rc.conf
2)I am using Gnome, but the same issue occurs in Xfce.
3)I'll comment those two lines, and see what happens.

Thanks.
