systemd.unit=rescue.target gets stuck (just as before).

systemd.unit=emergency.target boots!  I can log in as root, but journalctl
-xb gives nothing.  (And I don't know what else I can do then.  The system
is read-only...)

I tried a few of the grub commands in there, such as

  systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=console console=ttyS0,38400

and

  systemd.journald.forward_to_console=1 console=ttyS0,38400

but no new messages seem to go to the boot screen.

I also tried

  systemd.debug-shell=1

but either tty9 looks exactly the same as the one from boot, or it is not
switching.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
