Why isn't it enough to put appropriate entries into /etc/fstab when the
partitions are created and let rc.sysinit do its usual thing ? 

Of course, that requires that /etc/fstab is persisted across reboots,
though that seems to be the only sensible thing to do anyway, i.e. we
need an entry for /etc/fstab in /etc/statetab.d. From a look at
rc.sysinit, this all seems to happen early enough, but it would require
some testing to make sure ;)
