Thank you Alan, I believe I've read the news item you refer to, but I am not 
sure I understand how or why it applies to two laptops.  The news item refers 
to localmount and netmount which if they cannot be mounted will cause 
problems.  I don't use netmount on these laptops:

# rc-update -s -v | grep mount
           localmount | boot                                          
             mount-ro |                        shutdown               
             netmount |


localmount works and I see no failures in mounting my filesystems.  What fails 
repeatably is ifplugd, which no longer starts wired or wireless devices.
