HD Install :: Mount options via grub and permissions

I installed dsl via frugal install on a partition, and have my /home on another parition. I am using the grub option myhome=/dev/hda2 (I think that's the option anyway)

The problem is that I can't use the filemanager to view files and directories on the second partition unless they ahve rwx permissions. Specifically, I was using XMMS, and it won't play mp3's unless I give it +x permissions. I can into this problem on my Ubuntu box but fixed it with mount options in the fstab entry. Seeing as you can't edit the fstab in a frugal install, I'm looking for ways to solve this problem.

That would be home=

You can have a prepared fstab and boot with "nofstab" to avoid regeneration of it.
Or you can just modify it each time (either manually or with some script that edits fstab after boot - more portable), then mount it.
