sysvinit: addition to /etc/init.d/boot for multiple devices init



Could you apply the following patch or something like it to
/etc/init.d/boot, for the mdutils package, please ?

The multiple devices need to be initialised before swap is enabled or
filesystems checked, as the swap or filesystems may be on md devices.

Thanks,
Ian.
