Would this assume that you had the "noauto" paramter for the smbfs
partitions in /etc/fstab? Else earlier scripts would try to mount them, I

I've solved that part of the problem, by hvaing the smbfs module loaded by
using /boot/loader.conf. Howeverm that just gets me to the next problem.
An attempt is made to mount all filesystems not marked as "noauto" _before_
networking is brought up, Thus my problem
