Just taking two examples out of my /etc/fstab file:

LABEL=/boot /boot          ext3 defaults                            1 2
/dev/fd0    /media/floppy  auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,managed 0 0

The first one is *static* (it won't get changed unless I manually edit
the file), second one is "managed" by fstab-sync.  If I remove the
managed option from that line, it becomes a static entry.

Correct.  Use one of the other entries as a template to where you put
the different options in.

e.g. /dev/hdb1  /mnt/extradrive auto defaults

     Would mount the first partition on /dev/hdb at the /mnt/extradrive
     mountpoint (a directory that you'd create), it's automatically
     determine the filesystem (though you can specify it for what it
     really is), and use the default mounting options.
