Hi,
I am trying to enter single use mode.
The purpose is to move /var /usr and /home to a newly installed ssd.

I tried typing "init 1" and I got a black screen with a blinking cursor, no text input.
The same thing happens when I tried "systemctl isolate rescue.target".

Are there boot options to allow me to enter single user mode?
I could always boot from an sd card and do it from there, only I don't have one handy at the moment. Besides single user mode should work.
