[Initng] Mount point sometimes isn't mounted soon enough

Hi. I have moved /var/cache, /var/log and /usr/portage from hda2
(which is mounted at /) to hdb2 (mounted at /mnt/hdb2). The original
directories were replaced by symlinks, such that /var/cache is a link
to /mnt/hdb2/var/cache. I then added /mnt/hdb2 to the list of
mountpoints in system/mountfs/essential. 

Sometimes, the computer complains at bootup that this and that file
in /var/log is not accessible; it is extremely likely that this means
that /mnt/hdb2 is not mounted when it is needed. Do you have any idea
of how can I diagnose the cause of this problem?

Thank you.
