1) When both the client and server were Ubuntu 8.04 the boot-time CIFS
mounts on the client just worked. See my post above for fstab entries.
2) Upgraded client to 8.10, boot-time CIFS mounts stopped working,

To follow up on mipper's point, here's what I don't understand:
1) My server is Ubuntu 8.04, currently patched.
2) I upgraded my workstation from 8.04 to 8.10 and lose the ability to
have my CIFS shares on the server mounted automatically at boot time as
