I just installed autofs. After that I was searching for the bootscript in /etc/init.d but I couldn't find it. I found it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. Probably easy to fix. I uploaded a file which (as far as I understand ebuild) fixes the problem. See link above
This actually has an old-style initscript that needs updating. I'm assigning this to woodchip.
converted initscript to rc6 style.
