Perhaps using the _netdev mount option in fstab ?
The other solution is by installing the multipath-tools-boot package,
which activate all multupathing stuff in initramfs (beware to regenarate
it if you modifiy your /etc/multipath.conf file).
=> I sugest you to rename your multipath devices with the alias option
in multipath.conf, and use that name in fstab, more stable name.
