[mdlug] Adding a shell script to run after boot.

[Adam Behnke]

i just tried sudo mount -a in terminal and it didn't mount the usb drive,
it seems the usb drives don't automount on this system. right clicking and
mounting from the gui works fine.

i'll configure the automount and i'm reading up on d-feet
