"The file /etc/fstab (see fstab(5)), may contain lines describing what 
devices are usually mounted where,
        using which options. This file is used in three ways:

        (i) The command
               mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist]
        (usually  given  in  a bootscript) causes all file systems 
mentioned in fstab (of the proper type and/or
        having or not having the proper options) to be mounted as 
indicated, except for those  whose  line  con
        tains the noauto keyword."

Okay.

So the lines in fstab should automatically cause the partitions to be 
mounted, at bootup.
