Has anyone had an issue similiar to

>From bug: When I attach a hdc and hdd, both 100GB+ size drives to the secondary
ribbon, I get errors about /var/log/dmesg, etc, not existing... 

I figured out the problem was that it wasn't mounting my partitions. I also
figured out a "solution" (hack job). I had to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to call
a script to mount the necessary partitions (/var, /home. etc)
