Guess that is because no file system module is loaded at all and this is
mount trying and loading ext2 before trying ext3?
If that is the case then I think we should at least try to modprobe ext3
before calling mount.
Something else I noticed was that /dev is not bind mounted on /target/dev
before a root shell on /target is started. IMO this should be done
automatically.
