I'm pretty sure that won't work for an initramfs - they're almost |
| 7 |
certainly designed to ignore that instruction. Usually when somebody |
| 8 |
wants a rescue shell, they want it in their root filesystem, and not |
| 9 |
in their initramfs before it has pivoted. That is why dracut has |
| 10 |
options like rd.break. |

If the problem were with systemd/services/etc in the actual root |
| 13 |
filesystem (once the actual distro has started booting), then putting |
| 14 |
emergency on the command line should get you a rescue shell. |

The same generally applies to openrc - if the initramfs isn't mounting |
| 17 |
your root filesystem, then passing instructions to openrc won't do |
| 18 |
anything since in that case openrc isn't even running. |
