home=new partition, how do you mount it auto matically

Well, I set up a new /home. I put it on another partition and was wondering
how you mount it automatically at boot. I would think you set it in lilo. As
an educated guess (educated? HA!!) I am inserting the line 'home=/dev/hda4'
into lilo. I had hoped that 'man lilo.conf' would help but I suppose not.

I just googled it and found out that /etc/fstab is where it is. Does this look
appropriate?

/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4 ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 <- home's location
/dev/sda1 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
# Dynamic entries
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0

If you wonder why I answer my own questions it is because people may search
for something similar and I want them to be able to find the answer.
