Auto Mount NTFS Partition/Drives on boot up.

[Mark Hannon]

If you want r/w access to the drive you will need to use ntfs-3g as the
filesystem type.  Something like:

/dev/sda1	/vol/c 	ntfs-3g	ro,uid=2003,gid=2003,umask=7,nls=utf8	0 0
/dev/sda5     	/vol/d 	ntfs-3g rw,uid=2003,gid=2003,umask=7,nls=utf8	0 0

These lines mount my C drive, read-only, with user/group mapped to 2003
and D drive r/w.
