It's not actually clear what you want.
automounting for volumes should work nowadays for removable devices.

For static partitions, you indeed have to edit /etc/fstab, but mangling
/etc/fstab is not business of hal.

Could you elaborate a bit more, but you are trying to do, what your system is,
and what exactly fails.
