Fine. So you can mount the root filesystem, but it obviously does not
contain all the required files.

No. /etc/fstab has absolutley nothing to do with  your  problem.  The
kernel  cannot  start  the  init  porocess - make sure init is in the
filesystem, plus all required libraries.

This is completley unrelated.

Please contact MV support. I have no  idea  how  they  package  their
distribution,  or  how  their  config  tools might work. You paid for
their stuff, so ask _them_.
