Hi Sri

I would suspect you would want the auto as this allows for the fs to be
mounted using the mount -a option vice explicitly mounting the slice. As
for 0 0 or 1 1, I would go with 0 0 as this would indicate no for
dumping and no for fsck (unless of course you *want to* back up your
msdos fs with dump)

HTH
