   For the distributions using systemd, you can add the option nofail, to   
   all of the fstab entries that are not critical for that distribution.   
      
   If the entry has the nofail option, the init script used in dracut   
   will not drop to a rescue shell, if that filesystem can't be found.   
      
   It's described in "man mount", on those systems that support it.
