      Hi! I know I can access the text menu when I login with root, but what I really want is to access with a common user then su to root. It works, but it does not show the text menu. Is there a way to open it manually? Maybe automatically after su root?

        You can install the sudo package, grant permissions to your user, and then that user can run sudo /etc/rc.initial.
