I don't understand your question.  I gave you two options to fix the 
problem.  One used setup.  The other used the 'mount' command.  You 
said you chose to use setup.  If that's what you call doing it 
"manually" then yes.  Both options I gave allow you to alter the 
mount points setup creates from "user" to "system".  Personally, I 
would call the technique of using the 'mount' command a manual
procedure since it requires changing the mount type explicitly for 
each mount point.  But I suppose there's more than one way of looking
at it.
