problem with bootup sequence and HD mounting

[Lex Hider]

Hi,
I installed Ubuntu warty on my brothers computer the other day.
He has one normal IDE drive where we installed linux and 2x200G SATA
drives for data.

These 2 drives would not get mounted at /etc/init.d/mountall.sh because
it said that the devices, (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 from memory?) didn't
exist.

However, the drives were mounted fine if I put something like 'mount -a'
in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the order the various boot
stuff is run in?

Lex.
