> Description:

I have /usr a symlink to /a/usr.

When I edited /etc/rc.conf after updating for the first time after 1.3.3,
I found critical_filesystems and didn't put anything in it, as /usr was
handled implicitly - no!

I got /etc/netstart.local failing because /a wasn't mounted, thus /usr/local
stuff couldn't be found and I ended up in single user.

> How-To-Repeat:

s.a.

> Fix:

check for the implicit critical fs being a symlink and traverse that before
calling islocalfs? Do so for every listed fs?
