"Repeatedly spamming the Escape or Ctrl+C keys has always given you a
root shell during boot"
That's not true, actually. The problem is that hitting ESC kills fsck,
which mountall reacts like like the drive is failed. In the failed
drive case, it should run sulogin on a free tty. This is something that
upstart needs to deal with (perhaps vt8?)
