I've got the same problem with incorrect lines in fstab (bad device or
mount point name). ie:

/dev/nonexistan  /home    ext3 defaults,auto 0 0

It is annoying on a server system because it never boots (and this happen to me 
during a Landscape schelude reboot!!!). Would be nice have a timeout option for 
non-essentials mounts.
In my case, when I plugged a monitor, didn't show a error message neither a 
prompt (may be due a wrong monitor resolution?). So I needed to debug whole 
boot process to find out that it was a mountall problem.
I could boot with init=/bin/sh kernel param and fix fstab manually.
