Actually, I misspoke. I
had one there at one time to do something special, but looking at it just now I see that the mounts for /proc, /sys, /dev, /dev/pts, and /dev/shm (and of course the initial mount of the root filesystem) are hard-coded in the init script in the initrd, and no fstab is needed or present. You
can have an fstab there, and any special mount options for the early mount of the root filesystem will be handled. Plus, if you include the "fstab-sys"
dracut module, you can have other filesystems mounted prior to turning control over to the real
init process.
