I don't know why it's trying to mount that partition at boot, but I do 
know a workaround.  First, create a mountpoint, such as /mnt/foo.  Then, 
add a line to /etc/fstab, mounting the partition there, but instead of 
using the default options, use noauto users.  This will keep it from 
mounting at boot, but if you want to look at what's there, you can mount 
it as an ordinary user.  HTH, HAND.
