Normally: /etc/fstab
However, that mount is not going to work until you
do the necessary insmod.  I suggest you put the insmod
in /etc/rc followed by the mount (on the next line).

As I said before, /etc/mtab ( = /proc/mounts ) simply
records the current mounts.  It is not editable.
On the other hand, /etc/fstab contains instructions
that tell the kernel what to mount.  It is editable.
