This is the expected behaviour.
If you have an invalid or old entry in your /etc/fstab file, the system
will not boot because it's waiting for that file - or for you to tell it
what to do.
At this prompt, you could have pressed "S" to skip that entry and
continue booting or "M" to drop to a shell to fix the problem yourself.
(There is a bug open to replace [SM] with explanatory text)
** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid

Boot hangs with "Waiting for /some/mount [SM]" forever.
