I suppose the network is not yet ready when the file systems mentioned 
in fstab are mounted. You could add a line "mount -a" to the file 
"/etc/rc.local" to do your manual command automatically at the end of 
the boot process. This is probably not what you are looking for, but it 
might be a workaround if you don't find a better way.
