This will not make the auto-mounter daemon happen; rather, it will cause 
the system to try to mount /dev/umass-device at boot time. If the umass 
device is not connected at boot time, the system will need manual 
intervention in order to boot. Probably not what the OP wants. Besides, 
auto is the default anyway.
