Here's the fstab lines for my usermountable devices:
/dev/fd0                /media/floppy           auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,managed 0 0
/dev/hda                /media/cdrecorder       auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/sde1               /media/TRAVELDRIVE      vfat
pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,managed 0 0


My usb stick is called TRAVELDRIVE

I run automount/autofs on FC4.
