  all good to know.  :)  i've not been in that
bad a situation before.

  that last bit (#5) has caught plenty of people 
who had old fstabs and did not change the lines 
that were optional devices to "nofail".  it did
get me too when systemd was first coming through
testing/unstable.

  i absolutely hate being dropped into a raw
console or in the emergency mode because the
fonts are usually too small for me to have much
of a chance of reading them.

  y.w., but to me it looks like you did all the
heavy lifting here.  :)  glad you got it figured
