Public bug reported:
1. Boot into GRUB recovery menu.
2. Select menu item "Drop to root shell prompt".
3. Get prompt that says "Press Enter for maintenance (or press control-D to
continue):"
This is confusing, and actually backwards. Control-D doesn't "continue"
with the menu item you selected, it ends the root shell and goes back to
the menu. You want to press Enter if you want to continue on and get a
root shell prompt.
Please reword the prompt to something like "Press Enter to go to the
root shell (or press control-D to go back to the menu):".
