usb stick mounts, but fstab entry not right

I've installed opensuse 10 on a new hp pavilion laptop.

I'm trying to get a usb stick to work.
I do a fdisk -l and i see it as sda1.
I do "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick" and i can see the contents of it.
I added this to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat noauto,user,owner 0 0
but i can't see it (without executing the mount command)

So i guess something is wrong the the statement in fstab
What is the problem?

On Suse 10 you don't need to put any entries in /etc/fstab for removable drives. All you need to do is plug in the device and GNOME or KDE should bring up a dialogue box for you to handle the device. If this is happening then I am sure there could be some sort of problem with hal or udev.

try looking in /media for suse. It will create a new folder with the usb stick name for you. suse is simple that way in any usb device it auto mounts.
