 When the patch is a minor edit like this one, it usually isn't a very
 serious problem to see the entire diff as part of the PR text IMHO :)

 Two comments:
 
 a. Your editor seems to be inserting trailing whitespace when lines are
 wrapped.  This means that the lines starting with + in the diff above
 insert whitespace that someone will have to delete later.
 
 b. Is "just press 4" some magic key combo for the boot loader of 5.X?
 I've been using a lot of different keys: SPACE, RETURN, ESC are a few of
 those.  There is nothing different to the boot process of 5.X regarding
 single-user mode AFAIK.
 
 Did I miss/overlook  something?
