No lvm but same problem: the two partitions sdb1, sdb2 aren't mounted
during boot, but are mountable by hand following login.

I added the sleep command to localmount and the partitions are now
mounted during boot. But, only after some annoying ugliness.

a bit of console output:

*Checking all filesystems...
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1
...
ditto /dev/sdb2
...
*Operational error, continuing         [!!]
*Mounting local filesystems...          [ok]
...
and so on to login.

And yes the partitions are indeed mounted. But is this the best I can
hope for. I hate seeing red during bootup ;(

You can:

1. Add that sleep to fsck (or any earlier script) instead of localmount.

2. Create separate initscript, say, "disks-wait" with nothing but sleep
  and either add it to sysinit runlevel or to boot, but with
  appropriate "before" dependencies, so fsck and localmount will run
  after it. Looks cleaner to me than the first way.
