Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountall
If some of the mounts in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted, mountall prints a
warning to usplash of the form "The following file systems could not yet
be mounted... press ESC for a recovery shell". Unfortunately, pressing
ESC does not do anything at all, no recovery shell is coming up (I also
explicitly changed to the text console). Ctrl-Alt-Del does not trigger a
restart either, so the system has can only be recovered with a hard
reboot.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert some non-existing mount point into /etc/fstab. E.g.
"/dev/mapper/missing /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0".
2. Reboot
** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu)
