[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Root Parition Help

[Shantonu Sen]

You can edit /etc/fstab to mount a filesystem at an arbitrary  
mountpoint. I think 10.3.x supports that, although I recommend using  
10.4

You can also set the "nobrowse" mount option in fstab so that it's not  
displayed in the Finder or save panels. See fstab(5) for more  
information, or Google.
