It is now possible to specify mount points in OS X 10.2. First create the file /etc/fstab (if it doesn't exist already) and use this format:

Doesn't work on my set up
I tried this on a Jag upgraded machine (Beige G3 with 2 partitions, "OS_X" and "Apps")...
Works on mine! Cool!
Not sure why it doesn't work on yours. My setup works with the following contents for /etc/fstab:
Works on mine! Cool!
LABEL=swap /swap hfs rw 1 2 LABEL=Users /Users hfs rw 1 2 Of course I had to create /swap and /Users first, and changed their permissions to 777. I noticed that they had these permissions when they were originally in /Volumes.Ok, I don't get it. Which one is the volume's name? Is it the 1st one? And do I need to add /Volumes befor the name if i have it under other partition? Example, I put my applications under a partition named anna. Then, which line should I put in it? LABEL=anna /Applications hfs rw 1 2 or LABEL=/Volumes/anna /Applications hfs rw 1 2 ot LABEL=Applications anna hfs rw 1 2 or LABEL=Applications /Volumes/anna hfs rw 1 2 Thanks for any help.
Works on mine! Cool!
Nevermind, it works! woo hoo!
Doesn't work on my set up
***UPDATE***:
Doesn't work on my set up
When you append a "." to the name of the dir (aka mountpoint) does the Apple installer and others still see that as the "Applications" dir?
Not working here either / fstab reference
Not having much luck with this one myself - and I am pretty familiar with fstab setup in Linux. FYI - there is an excellent fstab resource here:
