[SOLVED] init script for running mknod and mdadm?

[pgu]

Are there any hooks for running mknod and mdadm to prior to running mount of /etc/fstab?

I'm mounting the root file system over NFS and load the kernel over the net, but I need to mount some local filesystems. It works fine if I log in and do mknod, mdadm --assemble, and then mount -a, but I would like to do this automatically. So are there any pre-defined hooks for this or do I have to make a full blown rc script to handle this?

I can get around it using an initrd script, but that seems a little overkill since I can boot the system fine, but I can't mount the local filesystems and activate swap since they're located on a software raid.

putting the mknod, mdadm, mount -a, and swapon -a in /etc/local.d/00_raid.start solved the problem even though it would probably have been more correct to make sure that this was run prior to mountall
