Re: During rescue startup boot process halts with "cannot open access to console, the root account is locked"

Oh wait!

The live media does not support rescue.
So this is confusing but there's two kinds of rescue. There's systemd rescue.target and there's Anaconda rescue a Fedora system.

Since systemd always requires a root password, and root on lives has no password set, both emergency.target and rescue.target (which includes 1 and single as aliases), these targets are non functional on lives.

But for Anaconda on netinstall and DVD, rescue launches a rescue feature of the installer. But that doesn't work on lives.

So you just have to boot the live without options, and either do the teardown manually using Terminal and wipefs, or trust the installer to do it (it uses wipefs and does proper teardowns)
