That link of Pascal to the bug 496289 is the followon bug that hit me.
You can't say "bootwait" on your partitions, as then you cannot boot.
This can only be corrected by an upstream patch, and they aren't going
to on the basis that its mountall that chose to break things, not their
code. Their stuff works.

Since "bootwait" doesn't work, nobody is using it. Removing it as an
option is not going to introduce compatibility problems. So it is now
possible, going forward to

* have some option like "dontwait" purely for those things you don't want to 
depend on
* test it works
* default to having everything bootwait *and let people add something different 
for their new filesystems*

The only question then is: patch 9.10, or push this fix out into the
next version. For me, its unimportant: I've rolled back to 9.04. I don't
like systems that don't boot.
