Default Help with some more sensible fstab defaults

a while ago I decided to set up automounting with HAL but backed out as I didn't really like it (seemed to get loads of disc icons cluttering my desktop...)

anyway, I'd like to have something more sensible in my fstab for average disc usage (burning, playing cds etc.) than this:

Code:
# Device		Mountpoint	FStype	Options		Dump	Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b		none		swap	sw		0	0
/dev/ad0s1a		/		ufs	rw		1	1
/dev/ad0s1e		/tmp		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/ad0s1f		/usr		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/ad0s1d		/var		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/acd0		/dvdburner	cd9660	rw,noauto	0	0
/dev/acd1		/dvdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0
/dev/da0s1		/mnt/flash	msdosfs	rw,noauto	0	0
/dev/acd0  		/usr/home/max/dvdburner cd9660  rw,noauto,nosuid  0  0
/dev/acd1  		/usr/home/max/dvdrom cd9660  ro,noauto,nosuid  0  0
before any RTFM style responses, I'll quickly point out that I've been reading :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/...t-unmount.html
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?q...ts&format=html
Complete FreeBSD
Absolute FreeBSD
&
FreeBSD Unleashed

Basically, I'm just asking for a useful, sensible default for some average multimedia/burning style use.

you might want to move acd0 & acd1 to /mnt/dvdburner & /mnt/dvdrom and remove the other two entries that put mount points in your home folder.

Done.

Anything else useful?

I'm going to come right out and say I have no idea how to play a cd on my FreeBSD box, so is there anything can help that (barring my stereo...)

Code:
kldload [path] [sound driver]
mixer [parameters]
cdcontrol play
May work with an audio cable plugged into the front of the cd drive.
That is probably the simplest method...

There must be something more accessible than that.

In a previous incarnation, I had Ubuntu on this box. If I stuck in a music disc, it opened my chosen media player.
