The initscripts /do/ already do this. See checkroot.sh and read_fstab in /lib/init/mount-functions.sh. If it's not working for you, then it's possible that the fstab entry for / doesn't match. Might be worth sourcing and running read_fstab by hand to see if it's pulling out the options correctly. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
