I made the directories (mount points) and then modified the fstab file as
suggested by you. Now all the other Linux (ext3) and Windows (VFAT and NTFS)
partitions are accessible (read-write) from the Ubuntu 9.04 OS.

The changed & working fstab is http://www.pastebin.ca/1526130 (for
reference).

Thanks,

Jay
