Please ignore my guess above: I think I understand now that it was 
intentional to check root disk (I got confused by the comment talking 
about ignoring root and then processing root not skipping it).

Let me clarify my use case: I generate a system image on a fast amd64 
system targeted a slower real device (that's the reason having initramfs 
generated is important).

fstab now unconditionally being distrusted for root disk makes it more 
difficult to build on a different host than intended for target boot.

Would it perhaps make sense to support passing pre-resolved root 
filesystem fstype as an environment variable, taking precedence over 
probing?
