   You can write fstab entries so that they are mounted at boot, same as   
   any other entry in that file. However, if the disk can not be mounted   
   for some reason (like disk unplugged), the system con not boot normally.   
   At best it will continue to emergency mode, depending on your distro,   
   thus waiting for your manual action. I don't know if in that mode you   
   can ssh in.   
      
   You can use the option "nofail", in which case if the external media can   
   not be mounted, it will not produce an error and the boot procedure will   
   continue.   
      
   Or you can create a cron job that sends you an email if there is a problem.
