unfortunately this doesn't catch stderr (not sure why &> or wasn't used,
must be that "| tee /dev/null &>" problem... but then again, I doubt the
bootup is a "tail -f" output :^))
I would put a sleep 20 at the top of various /etc/rcS.d/ programs. If
the problem is re "fstab" then a delay in /etc/rcS.d/S40hostname.sh
might be appropriate. then you can see the prob at boot ;-)
