Created attachment 1471374 [details] Fedora_installation_media_boot_linux_rescue At last the installation boot prompt was accessible as intended which involved Esc key and I was in situation to type 'linux rescue'. Nevertheless entering rescue mode fails, producing errors messages, that could not be copied/pasted by essence of text-based console: both pieces are part of a same output.
