I have the this configuration:
System: 4.1, Finder: 5.5, Mac:    Mac Plus, 2.5Mb, 256k allocated for cache
HD:     Jasmine DD8, FWB Partition: 1.05

and I have not experienced the problem you describe. My automount
works fine.

But there is an incompatibility between hard disk partition and Dreams
of the Phoenix's DA Installer+.

If you use the DA Installer, and let it use one of the undefined
slots, it interferes with HDB's allocation (?) of drivers. You have to
choose betwen the two. Given the job of backing up a 80 MB harddisk to
floppies, when most of it does not change, I opted for HDB in order to
let DiskFit do its thing in a reasonable manner.

As an aside, let me give Jasmine my recommendation. My 80MB arrived
BEFORE the announced 2 weeks from my date of order, and has worked
flawlessly (for a month).
