Dumb question - what error message do you get when you try do "cd
/misc/sata1"? Automount does not mount anything until you try to
access it. It does not mount your drive just because you plugged it in.

No such file or directory, and that's doing a "cd /mnt/sata1" - I
always
mount to mnt, I just reused the /etc/auto.misc file.
