I think you should offer a second rescue mode choice.

Call it "Quick Rescue Mode".

List it right after Rescue Mode.

Quick Rescue Mode would drop the user into a shell right away.

No questions about languages. Yup, unfair. Sorry.

No questions about time zones. Yup, no time to ask about time zones. We
are trying to rescue the patient, remember?

No million other questions that I already forgot.

I don't even recall if it even tried to configure the network, there
were so many questions.

Only one screen needed:

Indeed you don't even need to try help him mount a disk! Just say "use
mkdir /mnt/zz; mount /dev/sdX8 /mnt/zz to mount disks".

Anyway this Quick Rescue Mode would start in one second. Long before our
classmates using plain Rescue Mode have even answered their first question.

Closing.
