Looks like something in your /etc/fstab is not mountable. If you `mount -o remount,rw /` then you can edit /etc/fstab from a rescuer boot and fix it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Not sure how much simpler it gets. You're left at an emergency shell there. From that `mount -o remount,rw /` then edit /etc/fstab and fix whatever is wrong in it, save it, reboot.
