/etc/fstab is just a configuration file. The actual mounting of stuff
happens elsewhere. My suggestion is to move the actual mounting of stuff
from one rc file to another, a solution which will completely meet your
needs without changing anything in the base. The fact that you're
rejecting the simple solution indicates to me pretty clearly that I
don't want to be involved further.
