	Hi Tom,

	The most recent Athena release included a Sun patch that
introduced a bug preventing automounting of media by vold from working
correctly.  Sun has acknowledged the bug, and we're planning on fixing
it in the next Athena patch release.  If you'd like to work around the
problem until then, you should be able to do this by editing
/etc/rmmount.conf as root, and removing the last line, leaving the file
with these contents:

# @(#)rmmount.conf 1.5     00/08/10 SMI
#
# Removable Media Mounter configuration file.
#

# File system identification
ident hsfs ident_hsfs.so cdrom
ident ufs ident_ufs.so cdrom floppy rmscsi pcmem
ident pcfs ident_pcfs.so floppy rmscsi pcmem
ident udfs ident_udfs.so cdrom floppy

# Actions
action cdrom action_filemgr.so
action floppy action_filemgr.so
action rmscsi action_filemgr.so

         I hope this helps out.

Garry
