Bug#5277: /etc/init.d/boot loads modules AFTER running fsck

[Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au>]

Package: sysvinit       
Version: 2.66-1


/etc/init.d/boot loads modules after running fsck.  This means that any
filesystems which need a module (e.g. scsi driver, loopback driver, etc)
will not be fsck-ed.

problem will probably not be noticed by most people but will affect,
e.g., people who boot from IDE and also have scsi drives or crypto
filesystem etc.


this script fragment from boot needs to be moved up to just before the
fsck.

#
# Load the appropriate modules. This needs to be done here in case fs modules
# are needed for mounting local file systems.
#
if [ -x /etc/init.d/modules ]
then
  /etc/init.d/modules start
fi
---cut here---

the comment about mounting local filesystems applies equally to fsck-ing
them.
