Manually aborting the boot (by pressing Shift+M) for manual recovery, provides the lpar prompt.

Steps to recreate:
------------------------
1. Install Ubuntu14.04.4 on a PowerVM lpar having multipath disks.
2. While installing choose "Use entire disk and setup LVM" at disk partitioning installation menu.
3. After installation, lpar fails to mount /boot partition.

The problem matches the suspicion: the LVM detection is happening before multipathd grabs the individual paths, and then the creation of the multipath map /dev/mapper/mpath0 fails, then /boot fails to mount as it's specified as /dev/mapper/mpath0-part2 in /etc/fstab:
