Question about mounting SMB File Systems in fstab

I have setup some smb file system mounts in fstab, I use them to allow a
web file management portal access to my documents on my windows home
server. They are not critical to the server functioning. However I do
want them to auto mount at boot if the windows server is up as it
usually is, yet not fail to boot if its down.
Here is one of the lines from fstab:
//dweimer at homeserver/Pictures /smbfs/homeserver/Pictures smbfs
rw,late,-N 0 0
I have the password of course saved in /etc/nsmb.conf, it mounts fine
manually, and correctly mounts at reboot. However when I rebooted the
FreeBSD server with its Network disconnected as a test. It failed and
dropped to single user mode, is there an option I can set on the fstab
line that allows it to continue in this case, besides noauto which
prevents it from mounting at boot?
