From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can set up mount points on Linux, at least in GNOME, very easily. (It's even fully automatic for external disks.) I'd be surprised if it isn't as easy in KDE and other desktops too.
The problem here (at least from what it sounds like) isn't setting up mount points. The problem is fixing an incorrect fstab on the disk that's causing the system to hang on boot.
(This isn't a typical situation, which is why I also asked about how the partition was added to the system.)
