Long ago I knew a way to get the boot process to require a keystroke

But long ago I lost my notes on this, and I believe i need before my
next reboot.
Can someone point me to howto do this? My search foo is weak....
Unfortunately, you can't do this anymore. The old boot process was
sequential, so it was possible to step through each item. With
systemd, boot happens in parallel, and there's no way to make it
interactive and approve each item.
I've always thought it'd be nice if systemd had a mode where it would
flatten all dependencies and step through sequentially, but this is
easier said than done because the dependencies can be fairly complex.
The problem I was faced with was that something was turning the drive
off and then boot stopped and turned off the system. Since the drive
was turned off, I could not figure out what was causing it. Finally
after a number of <s> and <ctl-s> the boot transitioned to tghe gnome
login. It could also be that whatever was causing the problem stopped.
There was nothing in the logs to hint to the problem. I have not booted
since then, wanting someway to figure this out if it happens again.
Well, there is booting with:
systemd.confirm_spawn=true
not sure it fully does what you want, but it asks you for each thing
it's going to spawn if you want to do it or not or skip.
Where does this go? Do I press 'e' and add it to some part of the boot
info? What part?

thanks Will be prepared to try this on the next boot.
