When I was workin on this 'way back when..' I tried to keep the general
order in /etc/rc because I didn't know if someone had a reason I didn't
know about for having something before or after something else. So I 
kept the general order in /etc/rc and figured we would fix things as
they were reveiwed. This seems to be one of those. Your patch is
missing a requirement for rcconf and mountcrit remote. devfs can't be
run before NETWORKING because it depends on at least one binary in
/usr/sbin. See my patch and reply to Andre.

Cheers.
