That's how I've been loading systemd until now, but once
systemd-sysvinit is intalled, you only have once choice and I think this
is what Sander was referring to.

With systemd, there are some places you can go to to make possible for
rescue. See:

Not tried them myself, but they should work (unless they depend on some
dracut stuff)
