I deployerd OpenWRT system on some hardware, then make disk clone and try to deploy this clone on another hardware, but system freeze during disk detection (I believe because of fstab with UUIDs from old system). Is there a way to fix it? Say, load in safe mode and do something, may be. Thank you.
You cannot deploy the same exact config on different devices -- there are a few hardware specific elements that should not be migrated from one device to another.
What specifically are you trying to do?
In terms of recovery, enter failsafe mode and then reset from there.
Many thanks. I was just trying to save some configs and software, so that I do not install and setup it anew each time when I deploy OpenWRT OS.
You can "preinstall" packages to an OpenWrt firmware image using the Image Builder.
You can use this same tool to add a custom script into the /etc/uci-defaults directory. These will be run the first time an OpenWrt install starts up, so you can call the desired uci commands to configure the device.
This is arguably the closest thing you get to "sysprep" OpenWrt for mass deployment.

I actually do not need mass deployment. I just wanted to move OpenWRT from one hdd to another, yet it happens that I can not do this just by imaging
