It turns out to be some sort of race condition:
If I modify /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
...
STRING=$"Checking filesystems"
echo $STRING
sleep 2
echo ls 1
ls -l /dev/sdb*
sleep 1
echo ls 2
ls -l /dev/sdb*
sleep 1
echo ls 3
ls -l /dev/sdb*
sleep 1
echo ls 4
ls -l /dev/sdb*
then I get the following on startup:
Checking filesystems
ls 1
ls: /dev/sdb*: No such file or directory
ls 2
ls: /dev/sdb*: No such file or directory
ls 3
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 16 Feb 4 14:28 /dev/sdb
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 17 Feb 4 14:28 /dev/sdb1
ls 4
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 16 Feb 4 14:28 /dev/sdb
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 17 Feb 4 14:28 /dev/sdb1
Then the machine boots normally.
I'll add a sleep loop to rc.sysinit that waits until /dev/sdb1 is
available, unless someone has a better suggestion?
