An even better place (if you really want to do all this) would be
something that happens only at boot time.
On a Debian system a skript linked to /etc/rcS.d/ would be in
order, on SUSE I would rm it in /etc/init.d/boot.local.
But I advise against it. Do things like that manually after you've
checked that your pgsql-partition is mounted and filled with
correct data.
Some of the distributed init.d skripts for starting postgres also
initdb the data-location if they think they should. That can lead
to the total loss of your cluster.
