Here is a "minimal" fix that works on my machine, and uses nothing
nonstandard.  I tested this both with xdm and with startx, and it
seems to work fine.

# Start xfs before boot daemons, so its ready before client xterminals.
if checkyesno xfs; then
	echo -n ' xfs';			set -m ; xfs $xfs_flags & set +m
fi

Cheers,
