Dick,

You can re-run Setup and switch that setting (without installing any
packages, just set all to "Keep" or "Skip", unless you want to upgrade at
the same time).

You can also do this without running Setup, see "man mount" for details
(the section on the "-m" flag might prove helpful here as well).
