# friendly recovery mode - what's this?
Currently, if the user selects "recovery mode" from the bootloader menu they end up dropped at a root shell prompt. Ideally, they'd end up at a small ncurses application, one option of which would be "root shell". Other options can include things like "start system in safe graphics mode" or "forgotten password recovery".
