/boot won't mount through fstab

Hi all,

I installed Knoppix to hda things went well.  I had the disk previously
partitioned and after the install went to set them up how I wanted it. 
I got /home and /var to work fine w/ fstab.  The one giving me headaches
is the /boot partition.  No matter what I've tried it won't mount at
boot.  If I mount it from the command line it works fine.  

The partition layout I set up is 

/dev/hda1    /boot
/dev/hda2    swap
/dev/hda3    /
/dev/hda5    /home
/dev/hda6    /var

Here is my /etc/fstab file.

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass

/dev/hda3  /  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro  1  1
/dev/hda1  /boot  ext3  defaults,noauto  1  2
/dev/hda2  none  swap  sw  0  0
/dev/hda5 /home  auto  rw,auto,user,exec  1  2
/dev/hda6 /var   auto  defaults  1 2
proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0

# partitions found by Knoppix
#/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0

If anyone could give me a push in the right direction I would appreciate
it.  This has been killing me since I got back from vacation on Monday. 
And even before I left.  errrr.

Thanks.
