This looks like a duplicate of #845302. In this bug report a user had the "auto" option for /usr in /etc/fstab. The busybox and klibc-utils mount implementations did not cope with this and failed to mount /usr as a result In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845302#161 I have a proposed patch which uses the mount implmentation from util-linux, which is also used on the real system. This should avoid issues like Mark or the bug reporter from #845302 are encountering. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
