Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountall
Hi
If you boot a lucid kernel with no fstab (or specifically without "/" in
fstab), with no initrd, and without "rw" on the kernel cmdline, the boot
hangs waiting for local filesystems.
If however one passes "rw" on the kernel cmdline, the boot proceeds; it
also works if one has / in fstab.
I'm not sure what actually blocks mountall from remounting / rw when
it's not listed in fstab; perhaps /dev/root is mising?
This is a low priority use case though; people should have / in their
fstab.
Bye,
