How do I ensure that it is called late enough? See below for what I did:

Hehe - I did.

My script is=20

# PROVIDE: sharedroot
# REQUIRE: root

and I changed MOUNTCRITLOCAL to

mountcritlocal:# REQUIRE: root sharedroot

Actually, I tried both tar and sh MAKEDEV (where MAKEDEV is copied to /sbin=
 on
my setup), and found that sh MAKEDEV is not slower.

My original question applies to my home, diskful sharks. I want them to boot
a bit faster than running MAKEDEV or extracting the /dev.=20
