The directories are not "made", they just "appear" there by mounting a file system. Seems this part fails. This happens in mountroot. Try breaking at "bottom" (that's just after mountroot) and have a look what is mounted. Your rootfs should be mounted at root. It seems it isn't, for whatever reason. You might try to mount manually and see whether it complains.
