In this case you should see on your screen a line that reads '[SM]'.  If
you press 'S', boot will continue without mounting the file system
("skip").  If you press 'M', you will be given a recovery shell
("maintenance").

Unfortunately this isn't the least bit discoverable right now; I think
that's a mountall bug, because users are given no hints as to the
meaning of that line on the screen.
