As we see in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT vs GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, etc.,
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX is for both normal and recovery modes.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is for normal mode only.
So, which
- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_???, if any, is for recovery mode only?
Sure, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY. Alas, not accessible: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?64385
Sure, "just add it on yourself to the kernel command line each reboot, by hand!" But that is painful. Yes, I am talking about grub2 across all platforms.
