Here's a script I started. It's not finished; feel free to fix it... The
original goal was to create something to run out of /etc/rc.d, before /usr is
mounted, which is why it's frugal in its use of commands. I do not claim that
it is complete, error-free, etc., but since it might be useful I'll toss it to
the winds.
