thank you @aprayoga that was helpful.
TL:DR
my problem was, docker was starting BEFORE my mergefs volumes mounted, in one of my containers I am mounting a docker volume. because docker does not see the volume on disk, it "helpfully" creates that volume on disk. now my mergefs cannot mount because there are files created by docker in that location.
Assumptions:- you have a computer connected via USB-SERIAL and you can see the Helios console.
- inline code/commands important variables are wrapped with `` - I am used to markdown.
- I assume you know that `vim` and `nano` are text editors and you know how to exit `vim`.
How I found out and investigated:
1. I followed the above advice to boot from sd-card (balena etcher + latest stable armbian buster).
2. I fsck emmc = no issues.
3. I mounted the emmc, chrooted in, changed root password. Now I can login past the `Give root password for maintenance (or press Control-D to continue):`4. I cannot start services, system is dead, `journalctl` does not have any useful info. `/var/log/messages` looks boring.
5. I found some instructions to edit `/boot/armbianEnv.txt` (while still chrooted to emmc install) I bumped up the verbosity to `9` (make sure you only edit verbosity and do not change other things in your armbianEnv.txt).
`vim /boot/armbianEnv.txt`
verbosity=9 bootlogo=false overlay_prefix=rockchip rootdev=UUID=b31229b9-40ab-441c-95be-66666 rootfstype=ext4 console=serial usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u
6. I reboot, and I notice this in the boot logs (I am able to see boot logs because I am still connected via USBC SERIAL cable):
[FAILED] Failed to mount /srv/f95ca…b-439d-450e-b700-4444. See 'systemctl status "srv-f95ca73b\\x2…0\\x2d4444.mount"' for details.
After this the system "hangs" with the message we saw before:
Starting kernel ... Give root password for maintenance (or press Control-D to continue):
7. Because I changed the password, I am able to get in to recovery mode on the emmc install.
I do a `cat /etc/fstab` and notice that `f95ca…b-439d-450e-b700-4444` is my mergefs volume.
I do an `ls -alsht /srv/f95ca…b-439d-450e-b700-4444` and I see some directories there, both of these cannot be true, it's either mounted and files or NOT mounted and NO directories.
These directories match up with the docker volume mounts I specified for one of my containers.8. I do a `systemctl docker stop` `systemctl docker disable` so docker does not do a mess again (for now). I do a `du -hs /srv/f95ca…b-439d-450e-b700-4444` to make sure it is only empty directories created by docker, not my actual data. The output shows only empty dirs, (I am expecting gigabytes). Only AFTER I verified there is no data to lose, I do a `rm -rf /srv/f95ca…b-439d-450e-b700-4444`.
9. Now I need to make mergefs mount the volume BEFORE docker starts. I run `systemctl list-units --type=mount` this shows me ALL THE MOUNTS, for simplicity I am only including the drives we care about.
srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsda.mount loaded active mounted /srv/dev-disk-by-label-sda srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsdb.mount loaded active mounted /srv/dev-disk-by-label-sdb srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsdc.mount loaded active mounted /srv/dev-disk-by-label-sdc srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsdd.mount loaded active mounted /srv/dev-disk-by-label-sdd srv-f95ca73b\x2d439d\x2d450e\x2db700\x2d4444.mount loaded active mounted /srv/f95ca73b-439d-450e-b700-4444
these are the disks and volumes matching up with the failed mount in the boot logs.10. Now I edit the systemd docker override with `systemctl edit docker` and add this block:
[Unit] After=srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsda.mount srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsdb.mount srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsdc.mount srv-dev\x2ddisk\x2dby\x2dlabel\x2dsdd.mount srv-f95ca73b\x2d439d\x2d450e\x2db700\x2d4444.mount
I save, I exit nano.
I want to check if systemctl sees my changes... I run this: `systemctl cat docker`
the output shows the override (look at the last three lines, one of them includes my override to wait until mounts are done):# /lib/systemd/system/docker.service [Unit] Description=Docker Application Container Engine Documentation=https://docs.docker.com BindsTo=containerd.service After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service Wants=network-online.target Requires=docker.socket [Service] Type=notify # the default is not to use systemd for cgroups because the delegate issues still # exists and systemd currently does not support the cgroup feature set required # for containers run by docker ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID TimeoutSec=0 RestartSec=2 Restart=always # Note that StartLimit* options were moved from "Service" to "Unit" in systemd 229. # Both the old, and new location are accepted by systemd 229 and up, so using the old location # to make them work for either version of systemd.

11. I start docker, I enable the service `systemctl start docker` `systemctl enable docker`. I reboot, and it is all working. My filesystems mount properly BEFORE docker starts, ensuring docker does not create docker volumes because my filesystem is not ready.

I have a Helios Kobol64, I kept it off for a few hours.
Now powering on, it stays stuck in "maintenance".
No services start up.Before this, I followed the guide on https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/install/emmc/ and installed the Armbian_20.08.13_Helios64_buster_current_5.8.16.img
everything worked fine, and I have OMV on it, rebooted it several times.. no issues.
Today, I started it, and nothing..
I managed to connect to it via serial (usbc - COMPORT SERIAL)
below is the output:

Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):
```I am not able to login with any of the passwords (my own or defaults).
I type `1234` return, it says incorrect login, I assume it only asking for root password not the username.
I appreciate if anyone could help me please.Regards,

Nice thank you for instructions.
I had to run `mmc rescan` in uboot before I could run `run bootcmd_mmc1`
I kept getting error "could not set mode"
after `mmc rescan` `run bootcmd_mmc1` starts booting from sd card immediately.
