Our systems are certainly different, but I noticed this dependency on my 
localmount which is missing on yours:

# /lib/rc/bin/rc-depend localmount
sysfs devfs udev udev-trigger hwclock modules fsck root dmcrypt localmount
                              ^^^^^^^
Have you compared your system services which has this problem, with other 
systems of yours which can startup properly?
