Is it possible to boot a LTSP thin client to single user mode? I've updated the default entry under /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg to read as follows: -

append ro initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/nbd0 init=/sbin/init-ltsp nomodeset quiet 
splash **single** plymouth:force-splash vt.handoff=7 nbdroot=:ltsp_i386

This kind of works!

I see the boot progress to the point where it asks me to either enter the root password or Ctrl+D to bypass.

However, the boot process just seems to continue without providing an chance to do either.
