Figuring out what moment to press the key seems to be a black art, and
it always seems to be that it notices you've pressed the key too late
for whatever issue you had a problem with.

When it works, you get to say "yes" or "no" to each process that would
start up as you boot (all the parts that have the [failed] or [ok] lines
as it normally boots up).  Once you've had enough of playing boot-up
demigod, you can "continue" on booting with the normal boot sequence
(what's normally started up, will start up, when its turn comes along).
