Sorry, I hadn't the full PR.
For me it never counted, since I'm using the bg option on nfs mounts,
so I have no problems when X-mounting.
I think the idea putting it as early as possible in rc was that one
can put as much as possible on some nfs server (which should of
course be up :-).
So, may be it's a good solution is to document `bg' AND move `mount -t nfs'
past mountd as you suggested.
(I can think only of rare cases where people would like to put these
daemons on external disks -- and these admins should know how to fix it.)
