Before the 18.04 version, I used to just boot from the server ISO and access the "rescue from a broken system" option right from the menu. It appears that the rescue options were removed from the new ISOs. Did something change that i need to be aware of? Do i Need to use an older ISO to get the "Rescue from a Broken System" menu option? Why is this option removed? is there a better option?

for the record, the 20.04 server live install iso just does't have it. don't let people mislead you if you run into that.

Boot your live system and right after the bios POST press shift or esc (I read that somewhere and just alternated so I don't know which or maybe both work). Then you can choose the "advanced" options and rescue mode is one of them, after which you can choose "root" to drop to a root shell.

1Usually the correct key to press is Shift for BIOS and Esc for UEFI. For more information see Boot into recovery mode. – karel Jul 30 '19 at 15:33
