No I'm not sure. Mountall was updated at the same time among other 
things. I noticed the fstab in /lib/init got changed and I copied that 
back from the backup on the basis of another post on the list too.

I'm hoping you guys can tell me where the problem lies. It looks like 
something to do with init as the only services that will start before I 
telinit are the ones that have conf files in /etc/init i.e. mysql and ssh.
