In my experience too, the symlinks in rcS are ordered in a way so that
live-config gets S01 and mountkernfs gets S02. All great.
However, it seems to me boot time initscripts concurrency is the
default in Squeeze, and AFAIK nothing is done to avoid mountkernfs and
live-config initscripts to run in parallel, is it? Maybe I'm missing
something obvious.
