+ <para>When adding dependencies to other units, it's important to check if they set
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>. Service units, unless they set
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname>, automatically get a dependency on
+ <filename>sysinit.target</filename>. In this case, both
+ <filename>emergency.target</filename> and <filename>systemd-networkd.service</filename>
+ have <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname>, so they are suitable for use
+ in this target, and do not pull in <filename>sysinit.target</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>You can now switch into this emergency mode by running <varname>systemctl
+ isolate emergency-net.target</varname> or by passing the option
+ <varname>systemd.unit=emergency-net.target</varname> on the kernel command
+ line.</para>
+
+ <para>Other units can have <varname>WantedBy=emergency-net.target</varname> in the
+ <varname>[Install]</varname> section. After they are enabled using
+ <command>systemctl enable</command>, they will be started before
+ <varname>emergency-net.target</varname> is started. It is also possible to add
+ arbitrary units as dependencies of <filename>emergency.target</filename> without
+ modifying them by using <command>systemctl add-wants</command>.
