What you see here is that the old network service started at priority 10, with low priorities starting first, then at 13 iscsi got started and at 25 network filesystems (nfs, iscsi, etc) get fsck-ed (where applicable) and then mounten.

Then at 26 hal gets started and at 27 NetworkManager.

Now here we have a problem as in the brave new world without the old network service, when iscsi gets started and when netfs tries to mount nfs shares, the network is not configured yet as NetworkManager hasn't been started yet.

netfs does not start if neither of network or NM has started yet, and
is separately started by NM if needed.

But there is a catch, hal and NetworkManager are currently under /usr which could be on a network based fs itself. So hal and NetworkManager will need to be moved to /bin and /lib[64], or alternatively we could declare that installations where /usr is on a different fs then / are not supported (which might be a good thing todo for F-10 and then move hal + NM for F-11).

Having network /usr and non-network  / isn't really practical long term.
I'm all for not supporting it.
It must die die die. We're far better off making root filesystems sharable and readonly.
