Or an even easier way...
Authored by: nigel.megitt on Oct 11, '02 05:13:31AM

is to use the Finder's Go To Server feature to connect to your server once. Then make a shortcut to the place you want to mount. I like to put mine in the dock, but it doesn't make any difference where it is.

Next time you log in the server won't be mounted but when you open the shortcut the Finder automatically mounts it and presents it.

One proviso: if your connection disappears (e.g. if it was a dialup and you disconnected) then when you log out the system hangs while it tries to unmount the server. The way to get round this is to make sure that you manually dismount the servers before disconnecting, by dragging them to the Eject button in the Dock. This is really annoying, and something I wish Apple would sort out, but is edging off topic...
