OpenBSD's /etc/fstab

[yoshinari nomura <nomura_(_at_)_kinya_(_dot_)_com>]

In linux, if there is an entry in /etc/fstab like this

/dev/fd0   /mnt/floppy   auto   noauto,owner 0 0

it's no need to specify a file system with -t option, so I can
just put a dos formatted or ext2 formatted floppy in a drive and
simply type "mount /mnt/floppy" to use it.

But OpenBSD doen't seem to work that way.

I put the line
/dev/fd0a  /mnt/floppy  auto  rw,noauto 0 0
in /etc/fstab, but "auto" is not recognizable in OpenBSD.

If I put
/dev/fd0a /mnt/floppy msdos rw,noauto 0 0
it, of course, mounts by typing only
mount /mnt/floppy.

However, I use other types of floppy disk such as ext2 or ffs.

Is there any way to make OpenBSD automatically detects the floppy
disk's file system and mount it, that way I can avoid
typing -t option or device name every time I use FD?
