I don't know how to get the logs written to disk,  the startup process aborts 
before /var is mounted.

I see the output from "fsck -p -F" , it then says:

   mount: /usr/compat: no such file or directory
   mounting /etc/fstab filesytems failed, startup aborted

I'm then given the prompt to pick a shell.

Avoiding the symlink by using /usr/compat/linux/proc still causes a failure. 
However, if I use a mountpoint on the root partition it mounts correctly.

fstab is below,
