this means that I was unable to make any keyboard input. 


A few days after the first occurrence,
Emergency Mode will allow input in the form of the 
3-finger salute --Ctrl-Alt-Del
which starts a reboot, after about a considerable delay. 
It is possible that I idn't wait long enough. 

Apologies for any misunderstanding. 
-------------

After my last update on that system 5 days ago,
still, the only input allowed by Emergency Mode
is the same, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and wait for it to start rebooting. 

Emergency Mode does not allow me to login, or perform any other input, 
such as, run mc and edit the fstab of the existing Manjaro install,
in order to actualize it's fstab to reflect the new UUID
created by formatting another install. 


I recreated this same senario by executing Emergency Mode from a normal 
Xfce4 session, reaching the same end as before --Ctrl-Alt-Del. 


I believe it would help systemd acceptance by other distros, if Emergency Mode
allowed logging in as root to undertake editing of the fstab of the distro with
the old UUID. 


Other than this, systemd seems a considerable improvement over SysV.
