What Mantas said, really. In a legacy-free system where you#d like to
get rid of /etc/fstab i#d recommend:

1. in your initrd fsck the root fs first

2. then mount it in the initrd, and mount it writable right away

3. remove /etc/fstab

4. systemd-remount-fs will notice that the file is absent, and not do
   anything. (You could even mask the service if you like)
