There's no point in prompting. I asked you what you wanted to happen
*instead* of prompting. Because "booting the system with half its
filesystem missing" isn't going to be it.

To repeat myself:

  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.
