I am currently running with "ln -s /wa11 /wa1" so this isn't 
the config I booted with. Anyway;

This param is to stop the boot process from stopping because 
all of the mounts have failed, temporarily. A previous 
thread from a few weeks(?) back.

Me too! Happens during boot and when done manually!
