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.
