Holding left shift during early boot used to bring up the grub menu, 
timeout or not. Doesn't seem to work in F15 anymore, although having 
swithed to a usb-keyboard might have something to do with it. In any 
case getting the system to boot to single-user equivalent to workaround 
this systemd/selinux issue was unnecessarily painful.
