It will NOT stop at this prompt if either:
* The user has BOOT_DEGRADED=true in /etc/initramfs-
* The user passes "bootdegraded=true" on the kernel boot parameter
It will only stop at this prompt just before dropping to a busybox
recovery shell in the initramfs, which is also only useful if you're
standing in front of the console.
