The command line and the config files are similar:

Command line:
mount -t [filesystem type] [device to mount] [place to mount
it] [options]

So for instance, if you're mounting an NFS folder called
'foo' on 10.0.1.100, and you want to mount it in /mnt/nfs,
you could do

mount -t nfs 10.0.1.100:/foo /mnt/nfs

Config files:
Add a new line to /etc/fstab (you'll need to be root to do
so) that reads, for the above example,

10.0.1.100:/foo /mnt/nfs nfs

For all the options that apply when you mount things, do
'man mount'.
