On 18.04.1, the 'start network' option on the recovery menu prints this error on screen

Pressing Enter does nothing, pressing Ctrl-C resumes the boot.

As such, there is currently no way to start the network from the recovery menu (other than doing it manually from the root shell), and remounting / rw needs to be typed manually on the root prompt as well.

(Either result of this option is good to have when guiding less experienced users through recovery for remote support.)
