Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sysvinit

After updating (which I notice pulled in the latest initscripts
package). My system failed to boot with  "Waiting for /some/mount [SM]".
In my case it was an old partition that no longer existed, I was able to
log into recovery mode and remove the offending fstab entry. Previously
it was just silently failing and continuing to boot.

Another user is reporting the same issue except with an LVM home
partition that does automatically mount find in recovery mode.

A possible temporary work around might be to remove the fstab entry and
mount manually in /etc/rc.local
