I am just wondering if anyone has a tip on how to have my Firewire drive automatically mount at the login screen. I have two macs in the house, both of which use the Firewire drive that is connected to the iMac in my office. When I am on my laptop in the living room, attempting to get data from the external drive, I find if I have just restarted the iMac, it will only show internal drives and not my firewire drive. Is there a way to make this mount at the login screen. I also am using Connect360, so it is quite inconvenient to constantly have to run upstairs to login (it has became a bit easier with ScreenSharing).

Any help will make me happy

Thanks,
B
