Bug#981748: systemd-boot cmdline single
Hello, A short discussion on the issue came to the result, that this is not a bug. It is a matter of configuration, which is up to the administrator of the computer. Like with grub, where the kernel parameters are configured in /etc/default/grub, in systemd-boot this is (or has to be) configured in /etc/kernel/cmdline. It might be worth thinking of creating the file /etc/kernel/cmdline during package install. This would make it more similar to grub. I assume systemd-boot is not at the end of development and maybe in future releases there will be an extended framework on configuring the boot behavior. We can close this. Thanks again.

Bug#981748: systemd-boot cmdline single
Package: systemd Version: all Hello, I think that the script "src/kernel-install/90-loaderentry.install" does not handle the special case if booted with option "single". Consider the following situation: On bootup in the systemd-boot menu, edit the line and change "quiet" to "single", to get into the recovery (aka single user mode). In recovery you just say "exit" or press ctrl-D. This will boot the system in normal mode (usually multi-user). BUT, in "/proc/cmdline" there is still the option "single" at the end of the line. Now install a kernel update or do "update-initramfs", which will update the "systemd-boot" loader-entries by running the kernel-install scripts including "90-loaderentry.install". The updated loader-entry will have the entry "single" under "options". On next reboot, the system will again go to recovery. At the end, you will never get rid of the option "single". The only way out is to create "/etc/kernel/cmdline" without the "single" in the line. I saw this in Debian 10 (buster), but did not see a change in the source of newer versions. Many thanks for reading this and thinking about it. I really appreciate the work of Debian and the Debian package maintainers! Greetings ...
