Have a look at the 'nofail' option (see man fstab). Or add the
'noauto' option to the fstab entry for that HD and try to mount the HD
in /etc/rc.local only if it's present.
HTH,

thanks! I had that same issue not too long ago, except I put the wrong
FS type in the entry.. would not boot. I also have 2 entries for a USB
drive that I have commented out because I don't always have it turned
on. The noauto entry is what I need. Much appreciated!
