+  <para>
+    You can enter rescue mode by running:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting>
+# systemctl rescue
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    This will eventually give you a single-user root shell. Systemd will
+    stop (almost) all system services. To get out of maintenance mode,
+    just exit from the rescue shell.
