This does not really plug the leak. Just boot until initramfs is loaded,
pull the network plug and wait until dracut drops us to a (root-)shell.
Ah, which reminds me, that we should have an option to turn that off.
Now the remaining question is how to implement the adding of the needed
cmdline options to grub.conf.
Question: Is it really necessary to provide username/password to dracut?
Wouldn't it be better to ask the user? I mean if a mount is password
protected, be it cryptroot, nfs4 or whatever, shouldn't the user enter
the data?
username/password for iSCSI disks entered by a normal user every day he boots
his diskless client?
