Get drive UUID with:
# diskutil info /Volumes/DRIVENAME | grep UUID
Open /etc/fstab:
# sudo vifs
Set mount point by adding a line to fstab such as:
UUID=A199D396-E42D-2948-BD87-702542B87921 /path/to/existing/mount/directory hfs rw 1 0
Finally, set drive to auto-mount regardless of login status (optional?):
# sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool true
