Others have already answered, but I will add that if you put "emergency" |
36 |
anywhere in the kernel command line, then systemd will boot to the rescue |
37 |
target; that's why I suggested to do it in my first answer. |

Also, as Rich said, if you wait it's possible that systemd (and/or dracut) |
40 |
will drop you into a rescue shell anyway. Unfortunately, thanks to very |
41 |
slow hardware in the wild, the timeout has been increased to three minutes, |
42 |
and I believe those are *per hardware unit*. So if you have five disks, in |
43 |
theory it could take fifteen minutes to get you to a rescue shell. |
