-:- on boot:
select most recent kernel
`e` to edit
goto line with linux16, add `` to end of line

remount /sysroot as readable (defaults to read only in rd rescue mode):
`mount -o remount,rw /sysroot`
...
Booting to the emergency target state drops to a rescue shell after the 'root' filesystem has

do the same with 'rd.break' it would require considerably more effort.
