Hal (and its frontends ivman, gnome-volume-manager, ...) don't use /etc/fstab.  
When hal mount something (cd, flash, ...) it's visible in /etc/mtab as line 
above with /media/PIONEER_DVD-RW_DVR-111D. When disk is removed from dvdrom 
the line /media/PIONEER_DVD-RW_DVR-111D is removed from /etc/mtab too.

> Is udev support automount of yours HDDs ?
No.
When I wrote about HDD I bore in mind next. I want catalogize not whole HDD or 
whole partition but some catalogs only. For example /home/sergei/music/ 
or /usr/share/doc/ an so on.
