-removing the bootwait parameter from /home in fstab does allow the OS
to boot again. This implies that adding bootwait to a drive that
mountall thinks is should be bootwaiting for

Doesnt work:

Now, that latter one is the fstab I had at the beginning, the one where
sometimes X didn't want to play, I believe, becase home was being
fsck'd. I will try and replicate that by queueing up an fsck for the
next reboot

boot process isn't paused while fsck runs on partition: boot process is 
completed with fsck running in the background preventing partition from mounting
