With flash medium and Voyage, I dare an question the 'of course'
Are you aware Voyage does not only come with a readonly /, but as well
with a way to configure ramdisks that hold teh contents of your 'rw'
directories and are synced back to CF on shutdown?
You can do this via /etc/default/voyage-util

If you want to mount a partition on boot, I suggest to do it via
/etc/fstab. If sdc2 is an ext2 filesystem there should be a line
/dev/sdc2 /mount/where/you/want ext2 defaults 0 0
To write /etc/fstab you have to do remountrw and afterwards you better
do remountro again.

But I really suggest you check /etc/default/voyage-util. This is the
benefit of using voyage over e.g. standard debian.
