Mark:

Talking with the Unix person, he simply like to add systemd.unit=rescue.target 
at the end of the kernel line (in the corresponding GRUB entry) in order to 
boot into single-user mode whenever there's a booting problem.

I'm pretty sure they're asking about the ability of using grub itself to change 
things, when the grub menu is displayed. If so, then there is supposed to be a 
way to do it, but I never really dug into it well enough to figure it out 
properly. There are a couple of hints given on the screen about which keys to 
use, etc., but after that I wasn't initially able to get any further, and had 
to move on to other tasks.

If they're not talking about that, and are asking about using some form of 
editor to modify the config file itself, then you're correct. I really wish the 
old UTS editor that was made to work with 3270/3215 terminals had been open 
sourced before the company went under, but that never happened.
