Bug description:
  This image:

  http://cloud-
  images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/buildd/daily/xenial/current/xenial-
  server-cloudimg-amd64-disk.img

  Fails to boot, with either UEFI or MBR:

  ```
  error: can't find command `hwmatch'.
  error: no such device: root.
  ```

  Then it goes straight into initramfs.

  Every once in a while there's more context written:

  ```
  mount: can't find /root in /etc/fstab
  mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
  mount: mounting /run on /root/run failed: No such file or directory
  run-init: current directory on the same filesystem as the root: error 0
  Target filesstem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.
  run-init: current directory on the same filesystem as the root: error 0
  ...
  No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
  ```
