What exactly do you mean when you say "emergency mode"?
The expected behavior, when you boot Ubuntu and have a filesystem
referenced in /etc/fstab for which the device is absent, is that the
system will prompt, via plymouth, whether to continue waiting for the
filesystem or to skip mounting it. This should be the case up through
Ubuntu 14.10. For Ubuntu 15.04, with the switch to systemd the behavior
will be different; but should still not result in the system booting to
anything that could be considered "emergency mode".

Title:
fstab entry causes emergency mode to come up
Status in mountall package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 and also from 14.10 to 15.04, the system
goes into emergency mode when there is an entry in the /etc/fstab file for a
<removable> hard drive that isn't connected. Here's the fstab file that caused
it and the HITACHI entry has been commented out which fixed the problem.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb2 during installation
