Here is the debug log attached, this is dracut git HEAD.

The resulting initrd drops you into the emergency shell because systemd 
is unable to find /bin/mount to mount /sysroot.

Workaround to continue boot is to create the symlink and exit or a 
adding band-aid hack to 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/tree/modules.d/99fs-lib/module-setup.sh 
just before inst_multiple -o $_helpers fsck to force installation of 
mount as /bin/mount , clearly not the right thing to do ;-)
