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.
