New I tried looking for that file.
I couldn't begin to find the scripts init runs before it starts on the rc.* ones. (Is my Linux knowledge that rusty?)

I don't have the line for / to hand.

New Yes, I know that.
But there's a script it runs before it gets to any of the /etc/init.d ones. I think it's buried in the initrd.

New Try /etc/inittab
(Weird. I thought I posted this this morning, but I guess I didn't click hard enough...)

Look for the si: entry. (e.g. on Debian, it triggers the execution of the S entries in /etc/rcS.d which do the initial checks and mounts.)
