For my own record and for the convenience of everyone else, I am posting a work-around here.

When you boot into Recovery Mode, enter the following two commands before doing anything else:

mount --options remount,rw /
mount --all

These commands will set Recovery Mode to how it should have been.

Thank you. Allowed me to install the proprietary nvidia driver... a must, since none of the non-proprietary drivers work for me.
