Hi, In my opinion, adding a "failsafe" option is like hidding the video issue. In any way, when system is installed, such boot option should be present. Just adding the documentation in the right place is just sufficient. Forcing users to read the proper docs is not bad. Also if we call "failsafe" can be confused with unrelated "failsafe" initrd.
