System virtual devices you usually need.
tmpfs is a filesystem that resides in RAM.

TIMTOWTDI...

edit /etc/security/console.perms and base upon floppy and disk...
Add this to # device classes -- these are shell-style globs
<windows>=/dev/hda1,/mnt/win

And then add this to # permission definitions
<console>  0660 <windows>     0660 root.disk

change your fstab entry to:

/dev/hda1    /mnt/win    vfat    defaults,owner,rw 0 0

Now, I'm saying this by heart, so there may still be some rough edge to
adjust, but it's a good starting point.

Another (faster) way to do it, is:
/dev/hda1    /mnt/win    vfat    defaults,user,uid=YOURUID,gid=YOURGID 0
0

But this is not so neat :)
