Mine is an early preproduction unit (it doesn’t even have the logo on the top 
) and no problem here.
Did you add those options only to your two extra mount points, not to the original / and /boot partitions I hope ?
The issue you show in the very first picture of this thread is one that we have been trying to solve in another thread:
This seems to be affecting a small number of units when updated to the recent kernels (July update onwards) and despite several months attempts Sam has not been able to get back a confirmed affected unit from a user so we can see and work on the problem first hand.
There is also a strong possibility that the problem is a compatibility issue between the newer kernels and certain batches of Sandisk cards - Sam has also asked affected users if they could try a different brand of card to see if that helps but again nobody has actually done so to date.
It would be very helpful if you were able to try a different card of a different make than Sandisk to see if you have the same “Dependency failed for /boot” issue when trying to install the October version. Even if you temporarily borrow a card from a camera etc. Anything from about 4GB up (maybe even 2GB) should be enough for a test to see whether it boots or not.
If we could confirm for sure whether a different card works OK or not then it would help narrow the issue down to a batch of Vero’s or a batch of Sandisk SD cards.
