Were you mounting the reformatted windows partitions in the f32 instance?

If you were, edit /etc/fstab and add ",nofail" to the column that has
fs options and/or says "defaults", a failure to mount (and no noauto
and/or nofail) will drop it to single user mode.

"mount -a" should error on if a mount is failing.
