Can't boot into recovery mode.

Describe the issue
You can test it with:
https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/debian-11-ldxe
and also
https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/debian-10-4-i3

No one can boot into recovery mode.

Also you can install any other Debian / ubuntu and also other linux.

You can try grub add "init=/bin/bash" to linux line. Or something like rescue option to let kernel boot into recovery mode.

But unfortunately, UTM can't do this.

UTM Always stay on a black screen with blinking cursor

Same issue with UTM Version 4.4.2 (90) and Ubuntu 23.04 running on macOS 13.6 - M1 Pro

Same problem here. For the posterity, a possible alternative is to instead append systemd.debug_shell to kernel parameters and switch to TTY9.
