I would try to add to the kernel params: init=/bin/bash
then: "mount -o remount,rw /", rename the new directory to /var,
"sync" and "reboot -f"
It used to work.
Or add to the kernel params "rd.break=pre-pivot". You'll still need the
remount. See `man dracut.cmdline`, from `man kernel-command-line`.
Booting continues if you exit the shell.
