Document how to boot a VM into rescue mode for troubleshooting

Open afbjorklund opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description

It is possible to boot into single user mode with qemu, at the moment.

see https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/974#issuecomment-1879668509

It should be possible to do this with vz, but it is not yet implemented...

We might also want to add some details on how to mount a disk image.

And to add a section on how to use the serial.sock and friends (e.g. socat)

Most of this is only for advanced users and for troubleshooting problems
