>> g console=tty no_auto_cmd

Add root=/dev/sdc1 or something similar with your device name (the one
where you unpacked the tarball).

This is commonly seen here, occurs when the root device is incorrectly
specified or drivers needed to make it available are missing (on other
arches the only reason I have seen for this is an incorrectly built
initramfs).

It has just what is in the initramfs, it's not designed for such
recovery.

I see no benefit in having an ISO unless we could avoid having to type
these PMON commands.
