Did you perform this action:
rc-update add localmount default

On my machine (as per my other post) it's in the boot runlevel.

OK, after turning on some logging I figured out what's happening.
When localmount runs /dev/sdc has not been created yet. Presumably it is
getting created after localmount runs.
I suspect that this is because there's a delay during kernel
initialization that loads firmware for some TV tuners I have, and after
this I can see that /dev/sdc is created.
So the question now is... is it safe to add a delay to localmount? Or is
there a better way (like... can I tell the kernel to wait a few seconds
before running init?)
As this is mounted twice (local access and nfs access) in fstab, it
would be best to fix it before localmount runs.

OK, I found the rootdelay paramater but it didn't do what it needed
(presumably because the root partition wasn't mounted so creating
entries in /dev didn't happen any faster.)
I added the following three lines to add a delay:
# Delay to allow devices to register
einfo "Waiting for RAID devices to settle/register..."
sleep 25
I've rebooted a few times and it starts up correctly now. I don't really
care if that PC starts in two seconds, I need it to start up
consistently as it's acting as a server.
