It drops to a shell prompt with a motd that says "Emergency Mode please
run <some command> to review the boot logs or else run <some other
command> to boot normally". I don't recall the exact text but it's a
root shell... In 14.04 it did display the "Press S to skip waiting for
filesystem". In 14.10 I went to the grub menu and switched to an older
kernel and it worked with the skip message, but the newer kernel just
dropped to the shell. In 15.04 the newest kernel dropped to the shell
and the older kernel just hung indefinitely.

I removes the fstab entry and the newest kernel boots just fine. That's
all I know...

Title:
  fstab entry causes emergency mode to come up

Status in mountall package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 and also from 14.10 to 15.04, the system goes into emergency mode when there is an entry in the /etc/fstab file for a <removable> hard drive that isn't connected. Here's the fstab file that caused it and the HITACHI entry has been commented out which fixed the problem.
  # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
  #
  # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
  # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
  # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
  #
  # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
  # / was on /dev/sdb2 during installation
