Public bug reported:

after upgrading to Quantal the system no longer boots.
I've debugged the issue by booting with init=/bin/bash and it seems that 
mountall fails to spawn a few processes because PATH is wrong.
Here is the strace output:

[pid  3302] execve("swapon", ["swapon", "/dev/sda2"], [/* 9 vars */]) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  3302] execve("/bin/swapon", ["swapon", "/dev/sda2"], [/* 9 vars */]) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  3302] execve("/usr/bin/swapon", ["swapon", "/dev/sda2"], [/* 9 vars */]) 
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  3302] write(2, "mountall: swapon /dev/sda2 [3302"..., 61mountall: swapon 
/dev/sda2 [3302]: No such file or directory
) = 61
[pid  3302] write(15, "!", 1)           = 1
[pid  3277] <... read resumed> "!", 1)  = 1
[pid  3277] close(14)                   = 0
[pid  3302] exit_group(0)               = ?

here mountall fails to spawn swapon, but the same happens to fsck.
