For what it's worth, systemd emergency/rescue target only accept a root
login. Apparently it's complicated getting it to use a user in wheel.
Anyway I add two boot parameters as a workaround rather than permanently
enabling root.
1 systemd.debug-shell=1
tty9 will have a root shell, no password.
Is tribar installed? The plymouth set-default does nothing if the theme
isn't installed.
Anyone know what the plymouth initrd on /boot is for?
