Basically it just states waiting X seconds for /dev/sdx3 (corresponding to the 
missing raid5 member). Where X cycles from 2,4,8,16 and then drops you into a 
recovery console, no root pwd prompt.
It will only occur if the partition is completely missing, such as a 
replacement disk with a blank partition table, or a completely missing/failed 
drive.

No fsck seen for bad extX partitions etc.

Cheers,
