Bug Description
In Dapper my internal hard disk's NTFS partitions were visible on the desktop, had /etc/fstab entries, and /media/sda{1,4} mountpoints. Booting with the Edgy amd64 install CD, I don't see them. A 320GB USB drive is seen as /dev/sdd and a mountpoint created for it under /media. If I run 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda' I can see the internal disk and its partitions, and can mount the filesystems onto /mnt if I like.
Is Edgy deciding for me that it shouldn't display my internal disk's partitions in case I want to install onto them, or something?

I'm not sure what the process is that "discovers" disk partitions and automagically adds them to /etc/fstab with /etc/media mountpoints - if someone can point me to it I'll see if I can debug what's happening here.
I've confirmed that gnome-volume-
