That's it.
[errors]
> More input please.
I could not get all of the errors, because there are many lines like
this:
changing ownership of /dev/tty* : read-only filesystem
After this the system complains because /etc and /proc are not mounted.
I think all of my partitions are not being mounted, e.g. binaries in
/usr are not found.
As /etc/fstab says for the root partition:
defaults,errors=remount-ro
This makes sense: The partitions cannot be mounted, but the root
partition is remounted read only...
Both XFS options are compiled into the kernel (i.e. page buffer support
and xfs support).

No, all mount points exist. The permissions for /tmp are alright, too.
