Lighten up.

If you're (most likely) running the distro packaged version, then you're
only on 0.9.0 which had no autoboot capability, if that's what you're
referring to.  That's going to be in 1.0.4 which is due to be released
any time now.

We're working on it.  I wrote some of the autoboot code and I documented
what I did in the man pages.

Since there's no such thing as "attaching a drive" I'm guessing you want
to mount a physical drive on a directory in the container.  You would
used an lxc.mount.entry or an fstab entry in your config.  If that's not
what you mean, then you need to be more specific in what you are trying
to do.
