That's for fixing it.
Before that the issue should be understand.
Systemd websites documents some variables that you pass to the kernel
commandline in grub for debugging similar issues.

Example problem:
- ----------------
Your /etc/fstab has a block device that is not present when you boot,
so systemd waits for it.

How to find out the cause of the example problem:
- -------------------------------------------------
you go on systemd website and make systemd more verbose(for instance
by removing the quiet argument), in some cases you even can login inside
the system while it's not yet booted by passing some arguments.

How to fix:
- -----------
you chroot and fix the /etc/fstab and reboot
you then remove or don't set the debug kenrel arguments anymore.

Denis.
