Petter,

_netdev doesn't help. The fstab line is now:

none /media/samtori-media unionfs dirs=/media/tv-media:/home/sam/ 
MEDIA:/media/g5-media1:/media/g5-media2,_netdev 0 0

but /etc/init.d/mountall.sh still mounts it.

The responsible line in mountall.sh is:

   mount -a -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs

or, if $VERBOSE is on:

   mount -a -v -t noproc,nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs
