I'd like to be able to run a shell before completing the pivot (I'm running

I'm well versed in systemV init, but not systemd.
How do I simulate the initramfs debugging methodology of "break=init" or
"break=mount" using systemd (i.e. dropping into a
shell)?
You could have generator that creates service if specific parameter is
present on kernel command line. The practical problem is that there is
really no defined point "before the pivot" (or *before* any other
target), i.e. you cannot order your service "after everything Before
given target has completed".
