Bug Description

Installing the new trusty thar 14.04 Ubuntu version, I've done like most people having a NAS do : I have populated /etc/fstab with some share to access on my network. I use nfs (nfs-common) in my environment.

If the local directory mentioned in /etc/fstab contains accent (it's an example, i didn't test with other special character), my next boot end in crash (black screen)
for example /mnt/café or /media/café are a very bad ideas
(I'm french, sorry, this is why I usually use accent in directory label)

In a recovery session, it ends with a strange message telling the system can not locate my main disk /dev/sdax (which is a false error message) and then give me a prompt on busybox (that doesn't help me a lot...)

I think a correct way will be to end the mount in progress, telling it doesn't work for a reason or another, and then go to next line of /etc/fstab

(I've turn around this bug during 4 days before I understand what happens... the same error occurs in other flavours like xubuntu or kubuntu, and install ubuntu about 10 times before manage to going through...grrrr)

Could you post the exact contents of /etc/fstab, and a picture of the error?
