amd is different... I can theoretically set it up so that I pop in a Cd
and then do 'cd /mnt/cdrom' and it automatically mounts it, then unmounts
it when I leave the dir (after a specified keepalive interval).  It works
great for NFS... if i'm in an environment with servers that export NFS
volumes, for example... if 'myserver' exports '/home', I can just do:

cd /net/myserver/home

and there it all is....
