To clarify, that's "/etc/fstab" (filesystem table) which lists
filesystems and how to mount them.
I think it will mount them all at boot except for removable media like
cdroms or floppies?

In general, all configuration files are somewhere in the /etc directory.

"Services" are in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ (not sure of the rationale behind
this naming)
they are run at boot by "symlinking" (like shortcuts) to the /etc/rc3.d/
directories
where 3 is the "runlevel" (basically just different configurations like
multiuser, console or windows etc.) Seems a bit complex at first but it
kind of makes sense eventually.

IANALE (I am not a linux expert) so I'm sure someone will correct me if
this is wrong.
