can't add entries to fsab

hey guys,

 thanks!! Yeah I tried adding the late option, but that didn't change
anything. But then I thought that perhaps DNS was not loaded by the
time the fstab is parsed making any DNS style mounts render the
machine unbootable in normal mode.

 So I tried referring to the mount by the IP address rather than the
DNS name, and that fixed it.. I suppose I could setup the order in
which the services load in /etc/rc.d/ by pre-pending each one with
numbers (i.e. 00netif 01named 02syslogd...etc etc).

 Not sure I care enough to do that on my home system, but maybe I will..
