The way the man page reads it does the / and then spawns and does the rest of the partitions that will be mounted in parallel.

Especially since this is all that is going on at the time, if booting that is. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
