And do what instead of prompting? The system blocks on mountall because
it's waiting for the filesystem to become available. You have no console,
and you have a misconfigured /etc/fstab. What are you expecting the system
to do here? Try to bring up sshd when half of the filesystem may still be
missing?
If you deploy an image to the cloud with a wrong /etc/fstab, you get to keep
both pieces.
If you have a specific case where mountall is blocking the boot waiting for
some mount point that it *shouldn't* wait for, you'll need to provide more
specific information.
