One could argue that moving from "initrd mode" to single user mode should be transparent. Next week "the rest of the system" might include other components. There is no second kernel started at boot time (AFAICS), so it might be reasonable to expect that the kernel command line arguments are not ignored later. Of course I understand that the blacklist is not a "real" kernel command line argument, but an argument to the init script on the initrd. > > You can use break=init to get a shell at the point where the real init is > about to be started.

The system is an universal USB boot stick with a local root file system. If I change /etc, then it might not boot on the next PC. I understand that there is a problem to get rid of the kernel command line blacklist later.
