We can do the following... in the Node kickstart %post we can edit the 
rc.sysinit script to (very early in script execution where it normally 
does the remount of all drives in /etc/fstab) mount specific Node 
partitions like /var/log and /data.  We can check to make sure the 
partition exists before trying to mount it, and only show an error if the 
partition exists and it failed to mount it.

Make sense?  Alan mentioned that rc.sysinit has some hooks that we might 
be able to leverage to get around modifying the actual script.
