The key word is "usually". If root is mountable, you could also start
systemd in emergency mode, which (via "systemctl start debug-shell")
allows you to observe why the boot fails without otherwise inter fering
with it.

If not (RAID config missing and thus mdadm not in the initramfs, encryption
setup borked, …), a shell won't help, no matter how mighty. ;-)
