systemd.enableEmergencyMode

Whether to enable emergency mode, which is an sulogin shell started on the console if mounting a filesystem fails. Since some machines (like EC2 instances) have no console of any kind, emergency mode doesn't make sense, and it's better to continue with the boot insofar as possible.

For initrd emergency access, use boot.initrd.systemd.emergencyAccess instead.
