Interesting.  I think on centos this should still work.
The /etc/init.d/netfs script is what (historicallY) is supposed to mount
_netdev filesystems.

The netfs initscript is supposed to be doing that.  I have been coming
to the discovery that SLES 10, however has ceased shipping that script.
There is an open bug in bugzilla regarding this issue.  To our knowledge
however, this situation only exists on SLES 10.
