Im a new user and need to mount a partition on my usb key (the one I boot from ) everytime I boot. Right now I have to do that manually whenever I boot up:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/external
What is the best way to have my partition mount automatically at login? Any help would be appreciated.

Add the entry in /etc/fstab, after getting the UUID using sudo blkid.
Here is an example from my fstab:
# /var on /dev/sdb3
UUID=d3769abc-e40f-4d36-a596-9c69629e7211 /var ext4 defaults 0 2
Yours would be something like...
UUID=XXX....XXX /mnt/external vfat defaults 0 2

If you have you installed BL to your usb-key, damos answer is correct. If you have writen the BL-iso to the usb-key and boot a live session, things are a little more complicated.

Actually, I did use Rufus to prepare a usb key with the BL ISO with 3gb of persistence, all FAT32, and no partitions. When I boot I have data on the key that is not mounted.

This worked fine with persistent USB live .. mounts my partition on boot up. [SOLVED]
