Yeah, as soon as I get it right. ;^)

By the way, I didn't shrug off your idea of an mount_md, I just decided it
was the wrong way to go.  fstab doesn't store that kind of information for
any other mount points, only for mfs, so it's probably not the right place
to put it.

mount_md would've been easier to do, just link mount_md to mdmfs and you'd
get the behavior sought.  This script seemed like a more 'rc.d-ish' way to
do it, modulo the little bug that you can't chown/chgrp before
mountcritlocal because chown is in /usr/sbin.  Doh!
