I just talked to Sandy and Mike, and Linux does only run the processes
set for the default runlevel.  Mike had been under the impression that
it worked like Solaris, but it doesn't.  So, your solution should be
valid.  You do need to make sure that the pcmcia is started before the
networking and nfs.  I didn't see any errors in the messages file
so I'm not sure what you are seeing.  If things are working, I wouldn't
worry about it for now.
