And removing the udev rule eliminates this. There is no /dev/vgusb/usbhd
at all.

See above. I banged it out, and the device node doesn't get created at all.

This is still a winning command. Once I run it, followed by 'mount -a',
everything is there.
Why do I need to run this after every reboot? It's not *that* big a deal, as
I'm only rebooting now because of the gcc upgrade, but I'd sure like to
understand why.
So, bottom line, I still don't get the USB hard drive mounted without
intervention. That stinks.
By the way, I noticed a few other issues upon reboot. /dev/rtc takes about 8
seconds to create, and starting eth0 complains about no modules for netmask
or broadcast. And I have eth0:1 at 192.168.1.255. But that's next. Along
with udev, baselayout got upgraded.
