Some filesystems take longer to mount than others, such as ext2/3 and
reiser taking far longer than xfs... if you have concerns about booting
xfs, just put /boot on ext3, relatively small partitions wont be
noticed, but something like /usr, /var, /usr/home or /home might be
noted.

It all began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to 
the elves, seven to the dwarves, and nine to the race of men. Then Mr 
T. forged his golden chains, and everyone got jealous. Mr. T pitied 
them, but not that much.
