HD Install :: mtab is overwritten - how is a second drive added?
Well the thing is, I don't think you were supposed to use BOTH nostab and home= together.
If you did use just nofstab, and did backup/restore /etc/fstab, maybe that fstab line needed to be changed.. maybe add defaults to options.
But as long as it works 
just have " nofstab" and edditing the fstab, will not make it mount-on-boot.
jou still have to add " mount -a" to the boot script.
then it will work.
