 The mountall.sh script is in my hamm system called from /etc/rcS.d/
 with priority 35, so I've made raid to start with 25 because it has to be
 started before. Take a look at the README in that directory and chapter
 3.4 in the Policy Manual for more info. 

 Also please note, that my system is not necessarily 100% 'kosher', as I 
 have not (yet) taken the time to read that chapter in manual :)
