I'll test this out but would like to understand why it is necessary.

Are you saying that only if the device is listed in fstab as /dev/sda4 
and managed will
FC4 attempt to find the device at boot? Which daemon/program is reading
this info from fstab and causing the USB device to be powered up and added
to /dev?
