I had a similar line in /etc/fstab for my USB camera on a RH9 system. If 
I booted with the camera plugged in, an icon for the camera would appear 
on the desktop. But not if I booted without the camera plugged in to the 
usb port, which made it a nuisance when I later connected the camera.

I deleted "kudzu" from the fstab line and put a device icon on the 
desktop for /dev/sda1. Now, when I conncet the camera, I just click on 
the icon and I can access the storage on the camera, just like a disk. 
It should also work for the SanDisk.

John.
