FC3T3: fstab-sync, ieee1394, and mount points

Using FC3T3:
Ok, so the little Shuttle box has a firewire drive enclosure plugged
into it all the time that I want to have connect _as a normal drive_ at
boot time. (Because if I mount the /media/ieee1394 drive with the entry
hal leaves in /etc/fstab, selinux proceeds to make rsync barf; since the
external drive is the backup drive, I very much don't want that.)
If I hand edit /etc/fstab so that the relevant entry is:
/dev/sda1 /backup ext3 defaults 1 2
Everything works fine.
How do I convince fstab-sync to provide an entry like that? Is there
something else I need to convince?
Along with this, there's the partition used for hard drive
installs, which I can't label at install time. fstab-sync is
picking it up as well, as a noauto removable drive. I don't think
that's entirely sensible default behaviour for a partition on the
primary hard drive.
/dev/hda5 /media/idedisk ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
If there's some documentation with examples, I'd appreciate a pointer;
the man page is not informative, at least not if one doesn't already
understand hal and UDIs.
Thanks!
