Bug#800687: systemd: Boot defaults to emergency mode

OK, sorry, so the problem turned out to be quite trivial after all.

My fstab file contained a line required to support Altera FPGA 
programmers. It seems that the usbfs "filesystem" is no longer supported 
at all, causing the error displayed at the top of the first screen-shot.

It looked like the system continues in the boot process happily after 
the error so I didn't pay attention to it at first. Removing the line 
however allows the boot to proceed normally.

Still, I find it quite silly that a single unimportant error can cause 
the whole system to fail to boot, an ordinary PC user would have no idea 
what to do with it. (I.e. systemd certainly did not make a terribly good 
first impression on me..)

Thanks,
Martin
