Sure, I ran into this problem as well: I have a magneto-optical drive
which shows up as sd1, and I added a line for it in fstab with 'noauto'.
It tried to fsck it as well. This is on my todo list :)
It should also probably pay attention to the last field of the fstab's
line ("fs_passno") to not start fsck if it's 0, and to the mount
options, I happen to have some filesystems mounted read-only and I don't
want sysinst to try to mount them read/write. They are physically
write-protected anyway.
