Does systemd not use the standard

It does. Though it does not use "mount -a", but rather mounts each fs
separately.

I came across another anomaly on my systemd boxes that I would like
someone to verify if they could. Please do this on a backup system.
I was changing some lvm partitions about that were mounted in
/etc/fstab, actually I removed them and created two new lvm partitions
with different names, but failed to update the fstab. Upon rebooting the
systems failed to boot and where stuck at trying to mount the non
existing lvm partitions. I could not fix the systems as I could not get
a "recovery" bash prompt. I had to use a boot live CD to edit the fstab
and then all was well. On all my sysvinit systems a bad mount point
would just give me an error and continue booting.
Could some brave enterprising soul confirm this?
This created the following question: Can systemd boot a system without a
fstab?
