Except he is not mounting a drive really... he is mounting a fake raid
array, which under linux is listed as /dev/mapper/_whatever_

I'm no expert though...

Another method to see what to mount is like this:

macele at macele-desktop:~$ sudo dmraid -ay
[sudo] password for macele:
RAID set "nvidia_ahafefih" already active
RAID set "nvidia_ahafefih1" already active
RAID set "nvidia_ahafefih2" already active
RAID set "nvidia_ahafefih3" already active
RAID set "nvidia_ahafefih4" already active
macele at macele-desktop:~$ 

Obviously nvidia_ahafefih is the device and nvidia_ahafefihX are the
partitions.

My fstab:

macele at macele-desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/mapper/nvidia_ahafefih3    /               ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/mapper/nvidia_ahafefih4    none            swap    sw
0       0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec 0       0
macele at macele-desktop:~$ 

Hope that helps,
Maceleqq
