dbus
Starts the dbus daemon, which is used for messaging between other daemons and the kernel
fbset
Prepares the framebuffer (the graphical stuff on tty1)

If you use xen, this creates the xen domains. If you don't use xen, it does nothing.

raw
Binds the raw devices you have configured to be bound on boot

postfix
Starts postfix, the mail server. Even if you're not using a local mail server for real mail, you need one to handle system mail
portmap
Starts portmap, the gateway for remote procedure calls. Used primarily, but not exclusively, by NFS
boot.crypto
Mounts any encrypted file systems you are using.

After an automatic installation, this runs any scripts configured to run on first boot. If you don't have an automatic installation, or it's the second boot, it won't do anything
