Sorry for the noob question - but I cant find exact steps to boot into a debug mode should I need to do drive recovery etc.

I dont have any such entries in the boot options, only has Proxmox current version and reboot into setup.

I installed from the USB iso image and am running 8.1.5.

Thanks in adv.
 
The ISO got a rescue mode you can boot to fix/debug stuff via CLI.
How does it work?
I have a system running an older version it's 7.something, but it's having some errors. when it boots it has a problem mounting the CIFS shares, I thought because of some changes to the NAS, but then discovered it has problems mounting other network things as well. Then I discovered it was not loading the WebUI, & when booting it shows [FAILURE] on a few things. I really need to get into it just long enough to migrate 1 final VM's disk (not even important), add the new one to the cluster, then move everything over. But I can't get into the UI at all.
If the "Rescue Mode" just give CLI access that doesn't really help as I can still SSH into it
