That's not enough.

I have filesystems I don't want fscked/mounted until after sshd
will accept my login for instance (I hate waiting for a fsck of
/home/ncvs...) (Yes yes yes, bgfsck improves things a bit).

Please don't hack /etc/fstab yet another time, please try to do
it in a future-proof way (which doesn't suck)
