Still in /etc/fstab ...  He must have missed it.  Here's fstab and mtab
on my SuSE 9.0 box (and it's the same on all versions of SuSE that I've
used... back through 6.x something.)

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          575 2004-01-09 13:39 /etc/fstab
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          337 2004-03-01 18:32 /etc/mtab

He shouldn't have to do a search. :)

Although yast2 is equally good at editing the mounted disk partitions,
and provides a decent user interface.  Any reason he should not use the
config tool?
