"[SM] is actually a prompt to press S = skip? / M = maintenance?"
Wow! I had NO idea! Thank you.
Boot kept getting stuck there and I just assumed it meant "small" like
an insignificant error, as it occurred when it said my CDROM didn't
mount as there was nothing in the tray. I had no idea what was going on
after I left my computer sit at the prompt for a few hours, thinking it
would eventually boot up.
Booting up should require no user participation unless there is a
disaster. I don't think this prompt should even exist; everything should
be skipped silently until the login screen where it should prompt the
user with a list of the errors while booting.
** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
