automount of filesystem by label

I have an external, USB connected, SATA drive divided into two 
partitions with labels SATA1, SATA2.  I'd like to set up autofs to 
automount the drive when I plug it into the USB port and power it up.

In auto.master I have:

/mnt /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60

and in /etc/auto.misc I have:

sata1    -fstype=ext3   :SATA1
sata2    -fstype=ext3   :SATA2

I restarted autofs, no luck.  Is there a way to automount my drive using 
just the labels?


Thanks - Tod
