I think that would be a problem. Indeed these solutions will not work when the
boot phase is stuck in INITRD.
We have had boot problems in the past, either because of an error in /etc/fstab
or because of boot disk errors. In those cases we logoff the linux machine and
mount the boot disk(s) in our emergency linux guest. There we can repair the
boot disk, so fix errors in /etc/fstab or run a filesystemcheck on the disks.
When the disks are correct we can release these disks and have the owner
attempt to boot again.
Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

sudo nor pmrun address the issue of the "*Enter root password for
maintenance, or CTL-D to continue*" prompt when the system has
problems starting up.
Indeed.
And that prompt is driven by the INITRD phase, before /sbin/init (or
SystemD) gets control and could spawn your console shell.
