Auto mounting internal microSD card of the RT-N66U ?

I have a good-old RT-N66U with Asuswrt, amtm+Entware installed on a 1 GB USB drive.
Added a 2 GB micro SD card into the INTERNAL slot, but it is not detected on main page as USB device, and of course does not exist in any Media Services & Servers.
Manually added as /dev/sdb1, formatted and mounted on /opt/media.
My plan is to use it as a mp3/m4a storage and music server with minidlna.
Edited /etc/minidlna.conf and changed db_dir to /opt/media/ location and restarted minidlna .....It worked!
However, this will get lost, when router reboots.
I would like to get this microSD card automatically detected & mounted, and maybe Media Services & Servers would find it .
Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
I wouldn't use /opt/media as a mount point if I were you. That would clash with Entware which is uses /opt. I would use the router's "normal" mount naming convention, like /tmp/mnt/media (where media is the volume label of the SD card).

Have a look through the router's syslog during boot up to see at what point the internal flash drive is detected. From what I remember, once the SD card has been formatted correctly it should be automatically mounted at boot time.

If I remember the internal card needs an EXT2 or EXT3 format.
