yes, please.
Please check, if the fstab generation file exists:
/usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/40fstab
If it's exist try to run it from hand on console 2 (tty2) and check teh
output, maybe this program failes with some errors.
If the script doesn't exist, please check if you can download the
di-utils-generic package, and the recheck no 1 again.
Did you have mounted something under /etc?
Sorry for the questions, but I don't know the contents and the start of the
autobuilded images.
Thanks for the help,
Thorsten
