Title:
  during recovery mode, enable network failed due to /etc/resolv.conf
  not being present

Status in friendly-recovery package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in friendly-recovery source package in Bionic:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Something went wrong that required me to boot to recovery mode via
  grub.  The important part here, is that while I got as far as the
  recovery screen asking to "Enable Networking" and other options fsck
  filesystems, drop to root shell, etc.

  and selected "Enable Networking":

  the result was:

  grep: /etc/resolv.conf: No such File or directory.

  Unknown group "power" in message bus configuration file.


  (Networking did not enable, leaving me stranded at root shell without
  network which would have made adding/removing packages to troubleshoot
  easier)
