OK, thanks.  I don't remember seeing a message to that effect, but I'll
look for it when retesting.

Perhaps the options I want are "quiet" in crypttab and "nofail" in
fstab, so they'll be mounted if available.  With sysvinit most of them
actually are automounted during startup--I have a udev script that runs
cryptdisks_start when the disks are detected, and I guess the timing is
different enough that it works there.
