  Presumably if passing XANDROSBOOTDEBUG=y to the kernel
doesn't work for needing sudo but F9 still takes you to
the GrUB menu, then you have the option of passing
"init=/bin/sh" to the kernel at that point instead? (May
need root= and other options, and to mount the second
partition from that shell).

  ...though that's really quite faffy. This sounds
simplest:

  Wills.
