When I set SD card as /home, PP can't complete boot
#1
I was running Bookworm with /home on the SD card, and everything was working sort of OK. 
I tried to update to the 12 Dec weekly build, and all was OK until I edited /ect/fstab to make the SD card /home. After editing, repeatably, the PP will boot, and then the screen goes blank with the backlight still on. If I remove that third line from fstab it again boots normally. I can mount the SD card as /home and everything seems to be fine, but if I try to add it to the fstab to make it permanent, the boot fails/hangs/something.

I fell back on an earlier build with a 5.13 kernel, and still the exact same thing, so I'm thinking there may be something on my SD card that's causing trouble at boot?

Any ideas what might be going on? I would REALLY like to have my home back on the SD card without having to remount it every time I boot, because I'm having to boot a lot!
