Well, *if* a line with /dev/root is present in /etc/fstab, the system
does not boot up properly (tested it right now).
I always though such a line in /etc/fstab is needed so that fsck is run
on the root filesystem...

Removing the line completely boots up fine, but the filesystem has not
been fscked on boot.
