Isn't mounting filesystems, which can depend on the network, part of the boot process? I recently had an unpleasant experience where I switched to network-manager to make gnome-shell happy, but network-manager runs too late in the boot process, so none of my NFS filesystems got mounted. I certainly wished there was a bit more proper ordering going on then... -miles -- Philosophy, n.
