I'm not sure, but could this be caused by trying to mount /usr/home
and /usr/local before /usr? I'd guess /usr would have to be mounted
first, for those two mountpoints to exist (assuming /usr isn't on your
root filesystem) and therefore listed first (or before /usr/home and
/usr/local at least) in /etc/fstab. But that's just a guess.
