Okay i have read much stuff about it but it doenst work for me.
I have the following auto.master file in /etc
/misc /etc/auto.misc

and the following auto.misc
dos1 -fstype=auto :/dev/hdc5

the directory /misc exists and i can manually mount /dev/hdc5.
I've tried also some fstype options like -fstype=vfat and so one.

if i change to the to /misc/dos1 the shell says:
bash: cd: /misc/dos1: file or directory doesnt exists.
and in my syslog:
lookup(program): looking up dos1
lookup(program): lookup for dos1 failed

What is wrong?

I've found the problem.
The auto.mist file has the executable flag and in this case the autofs
script use the program option instead of file option.
Now it works fine.
