How to implement comments that always start at the beginning of a line

[Philipp]

Hi,

I'm writing my own Emacs major mode for a language in with all comments
start with an starisk at the beginning of a line. Unfortunately, I haven't
found a way to implement this in the syntax table. 

I tried to do a two-character comment sequence, with the first character
being a newline and the 2nd character an asterisk. This would neglect
comments in the first line of a buffer, but it would be better than nothing.
The lines I used were

                (modify-syntax-entry ?\n ">1" form-mode-syntax-table)
                (modify-syntax-entry ?* ".2" form-mode-syntax-table)

but that didn't work the way I expected. Does anybody have an idea how to
solve this?

Thanks,
Philipp
