>Description:
When /usr isn't mounted and wpa_supplicant is enabled in rc.conf, things fail silently because:

                        if [ ! -x ${_chroot}${command} ]; then
                                return 0
                        fi

I think it should issue an informational message
>How-To-Repeat:
- set up a machine with separate /usr
- enable wpa_supplicant in rc.conf
- reboot
(yes, critical_filesystems_local should be missing)

wpa_supplicant doesn't start and there's nothing to hint at why.  Puzzlingly, running '/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start' after boot works!
>Fix:
add a warn() call line vis:

                        if [ ! -x ${_chroot}${command} ]; then
                                warn {_chroot}${command} not found
                                return 0
                        fi

(BTW, is critical_filesystems_local normally set by the installer?)
