Procedure:
Start your RHEL / CentOS 7/8 Linux machine. Upon the boot-loader appears, press any key except Enter to interrupt the countdown.
Now press "e" key to alter the current entry, where we can modify the default boot-loader entry and log in to emergency mode.
With the cursor keys, you can navigate to the line that starts with Linux. Also, need to append systemd.unit=emergency.target to the end of the line.
Later press Ctrl + x key to boot using the modified configuration.
