The problem is that there in not a script that processes /etc/fstab,
and mounts each entry. What is done instead is to let mount do it
itself using the -a option. Network mounts are excluded the first
time it is run. I believe the script that handles this is in initrd now.

mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist]
   (usually given in a bootscript) causes all file systems mentioned
   in fstab (of the proper type and/or having or not having the
   proper options) to be mounted as indicated, except for those
   whose line contains the noauto keyword. Adding the -F option will
   make mount fork, so that the filesystems are mounted
   simultaneously.
