[svlug] Mounting and a simplified "race" condition

[James Sparenberg]

Getting this up now.  Yeah the box is actually  one with a single NIC (the 
second one is used as a LOM interface) so the NIC comes up in the course of 
stock init.  It really does look like I'm going to have to run a late stage 
init script that starts out by sleeping long enough to ensure that the NIC is 
alive, then test from there.  

The end is, not much more than wanting to see if anything I hadn't thought of 
exists that I should have thought of.  Thanks All!
