Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon

This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel

This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically

Background mounts would retry 10000 times (at least 7 days) before

For some situations such as diskless terminals, an NFS filesystem

background mounts are appropiate. To cater for this situation,
unbreak the -R (retry count) parameter so that it also works in

forever".
The defaults are now "try once" for non-background mounts and "retry
forever" for background mounts; both can be overridden via -R.
Add a description of this behaviour to the manpage.
