I also don't like that if it needs to fsck, say /dev/hda7 and /dev/hda8,
it says 'Checking /dev/hde7 .. /dev/hde8' all at once, and *then* precedes
to check them after printing the message for all partitions. In other
words, it should say 'Checking /dev/hda7', check /dev/hde7, say 'Checking
/dev/hda8', then check /dev/hda8.
Also, with the new initscripts the startup process hangs, and there are
very large delays between some of the commands. The delays seem
intermittent. With the old initscripts everything goes fine.
