This stems from the fact that the way we handle filesystems is different from
the way NetBSD handles it.  For our purposes, we need one pass to mount local
filesystems and a second one to mount remote ones. 

IIRC NetBSD requires that users specify their file systems in rc.conf. This
might be useful to have on FreeBSD, as long as it's strictly optional, but I
don't have the time or interest to work on it.

Cheers.
