additional volumes aren't listed there by default, no...but if you added 
them with "ignore" would it work?

I don't have a 2nd drive to test this with but I know that OpenStep didn't 
list other volumes in /etc/fstab but would use it if it was there.

That said I have not found any info on using fstab with OS X except the man 
page of course.
