   Please remember that the above paragraph was a typing error or mind fart   
   and was corrected later.   
      
   If the emergency includes that /home can not be mounted, then you can   
   not login as any user, to correct the issue.   
      
   At least in openSUSE. No /home, no login, it silently fails (at least in   
   graphical mode).
