Autofs needs some files to work. This is how mine is set up -

/etc/auto.master:

Code:

/mnt/cd /etc/auto.cd

and /etc/auto.cd:

Code:

dvd     -fstype=iso9660,ro      :/dev/hdc
cd      -fstype=iso9660,ro      :/dev/hdd

This makes /mnt/cd/dvd and /mnt/cd/cd

You of course can make them mount to wherever you like. Also I believe I had to compile the kernel with autofs support although yours might already have it. (I downloaded mine from kernel.org)
