You have multiple mount points defined:
================================ Mount points:
=================================

Device           Mount_Point              Type       Options

/dev/loop0       /rofs                    squashfs   (ro,noatime)
/dev/sda1        /media/091d6464-45e1-4ddf-9a2b-eb84f9e2acb0 ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)
/dev/sr0         /cdrom                   iso9660    (ro,noatime)

And I think that's the issue. Perhaps Goh or Tom can help you sort those
out.

Typical should be similar to the one in my pastebin that I posted:
================================ Mount points:
=================================

Device           Mount_Point              Type       Options

/dev/sda1        /media/windows           fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=512)
/dev/sdb1        /                        ext4
(rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)

for a dual drive dual boot. And for a single drive (even with multiple
OS's):

================================ Mount points:
=================================

Device           Mount_Point              Type       Options

/dev/sda1        /                        ext4
(rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)

Note: last could be any /dev/sda(x) - on my HP laptop I have it on
/dev/sda5.

Your fstab is looking for / on /dev/sda1:
