Just a guess: task_mountdisks silently fails because of the missing /etc/fstab
and this causes fai to cancel all other tasks and start the logging?

Please check, if /fai/files/etc/fstab exists and is readable - this is probably
the key to the solution - then a writable /tmp/target could be mounted and your
ssh-problem would be fixed as well!
