Hi,
I guess you made a typo Helgo.
The /etc/mtab file does only reflect the currently mounted filesystems.
This file is being used by the umount "command" and updated by both "mount" and "umount" commands.

The place to indicate where you want FS to be automatically mounted at boot time is /etc/fstab
