>Description:
	My /, /var, and /usr partitions are near full, so I made
	/var/crash a symlink to /home, which has .5Gig free.  I
	also put a large swapfile on /home.  With the current
	/etc/rc setup, crashdumps will not be saved, nor will
	swapping be turned on, because local non-critical
	filesystems aren't yet mounted at those times.

	The patch below mounts all local ffs filesystems from
	/etc/fstab right after mounting all ``critical''
	filesystems.  I could just make /home ``critical,'' but
	is there any good reason to delay mounting local ffs
	filesystems at that point in /etc/rc?
