This is still completely unworkable for me. I'm installing 20.04.3 on a rack server via the LOM, and at no time while the system was starting up did I see anywhere I could set command line options - it went from the firmware talking about scanning the bus to "No Signal" to the kernel starting to boot in the space of about 3 seconds.

And even if there was a splash screen that allowed me to press a key to set options as comments above imply there should be, it takes the firmware in this box two and half minutes to get to the point where the ISO is booting. So to make use of it, I'd have to be glued to my monitor for that long to make sure I didn't miss the window of how many seconds it's supposed to appear for. I could be spending more time waiting for the opportunity to press a key than I would spend answering the installer questions.

As things stands, #11 appears to be the best solution I've got and I think that's absolutely ridiculous.
