Bug Description
Binary package hint: mountall
I'm not sure how this is *supposed* to work, so adjust the source package accordingly.
The symptoms are usplash starts flickers a bit, and then you're left with a black screen and possibly a logged in shell.
Looking at /var/log/syslog you can see that network-manager failed, hal failed, gdm, and a whole slew of others that went into a respawn loop.
It stands out that network manager was failing because it couldn't find it's dbus socket at /var/run/
Sure enough, when I look there, it's nowhere to be found.

I don't think it makes much sense for mountall to emit the 'local-filesystems' signal before the virtual filesystems have also been brought up; these are also "local" in a real sense. And all three of the jobs in the base system that currently depend on local-filesystems also write to /var/run, so I think it's clear that "local" should imply "virtual".
