I once used a distro that had a feature=20 like that. Ubuntu supports dropping to a root shell (and memtesting RAM?) among=20 more options if "recovery" is choosen in the grub menu. I like that=20 feature. If something like that had been possible on this old=20 GuixSD-installation I would not have had to resort to chrooting. --=20 --- Swedebugia
