  3. Enter "e" to edit the Grube file that starts the run. Then its contents are displayed.
  4. On one of the lines you need to find:
    ro quiet splash $vt.handoff
  5. Delete this line and replace it:
    rw init=/bin/bash
    But you are in qwerty mode as the system is not yet booted. On the Azerbaijani keyboard, enter "z" to get "w," "!" for "/, "and" q "for" a. "
  6. Press CTRL-x to exit and continue.
