I'm not a guru, so my answer only scratches the surface. I believe what you want to do is develop your script which does these things, then place it into /etc/init.d (look at the ones in there for a decent structure to follow, though you may not need/want all the testing that goes on..). Follow that with an update-rc.d to populate the /etc/rc?.d directories with the links. You will need to be sure that the links are numbered higher enough that the network connections are definitely established before your mounts.

The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
