Hi Michael,
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482273 which I
filed last year; no feedback so far.
I don't think there's a "right way" to fix this, but there are various
obvious hacks as others have pointed out. I suggest that you hack
/etc/init.d/mountall.sh so that it waits for the device to be present.
A fixed sleep is OK if you're not bothered about boot speed.
Phil.
