In other words, I would like the following or similar entry to work in /etc/fstab: /dev/gpt/myspecialpartition /myspecialmountpoint rw,failok However, with such an entry, even if "rw,late,failok,noauto" is used, the startup scripts panic during boot, with some "UNEXPECTED UNCONSISTENCY" message. >How-To-Repeat: Add /dev/gpt/<insert_non-existent_GPT_label_here> /myspecialmountpoint rw,failok to your /etc/fstab, and reboot. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
