+Subject: [PATCH] add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY for recovery mode
+
+References: [openSUSE-factory] Has FailSafe or Safe Mode been removed
+            permanently from 12.2? 
+Patch-Mainline: no
+
+We adapt the script a bit in order to support openSUSE's failsafe
+booting mode. We don't use single user mode but with specific kernel
+command line options decided in YaST. These command line could be
+applied to grub2's recovery mode via the new setting
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY.
