[issue497] "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" causing failure in /dev

[Michael Prokop]

New submission from Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org>:

Current Debian/unstable has a serious problem in the boot chain:

  http://grml.org/screeni/gkrellShoot_08-07-20_164435.png

The "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" doesn't prevent current daily 
builds of grml from booting but /dev isn't fully featured. The problem is the 
lack of support for "mount -n -o move ..." in util-linux without specifying the 
filesystem (-t $FS), but util-linux lacks support for moving a tmpfs -> 
dependency hell. I'm in contact with maks (maintainer of initramfs-tools).
