This bug was fixed in the package friendly-recovery - 0.2.38ubuntu1

---------------
friendly-recovery (0.2.38ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * Actually use a friendly-recovery.target which systemd boots to
    using a generator for default.target symlink. This ensures that
    one is not in the middle of a boot transaction during recovery
    and can start/stop/change systemd units without interference.
  * Cleanup lintian warnings. (LP: #1766872)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * network menu in recovery mode doesn't work correctly, blocking at
  starting systemd services depends to enable networking.

  [Test Case]

   * Boot w/ Xenial or Bionic in recovery mode via grub
   * Choose "network" in friendly-recovery menu

   The network won't be activated and it'll be stuck at systemd-tty-ask-
  password :

  # pstree
  systemd-+-bash---pstree
          |-recovery-menu---network---systemctl---systemd-tty-ask

  [Regression Potential]

  * Low.
  * All options works fine.
  * Cosmic has the same changes already in place.

  * According to xnox, resume option fails to boot now.
  After verification the 'resume' has the same effect before/after that change, it boots up but still seems to stick in 'recovery' option according to /proc/cmdline so I don't see any obvious behaviour change before and after.

  [Original Description]

  This bug has been noticed after the introduction of the fix of (LP:
  #1682637) in Bionic.

  I have notice a block in Bionic when choosing 'Enable Network' option
  in recovery mode on different bionic vanilla system and I can
  reproduce all the time.

  I also asked colleagues to give it a try (for a second pair of eye on
  this) and they have the same result as me.

  Basically, when choosing 'Enable Network' it get block or lock.
  If we hit 'ctrl-c', then a shell arrive and the system has network connectivity.

  Here's what I find while enabling "systemd.debug-shell=1" from vtty9 :

  # pstree
  systemd-+-bash---pstree
          |-recovery-menu---network---systemctl---systemd-tty-ask
          |-systemd-journal
          ....

  # ps
  root 486 473 0 08:29 tty1 00:00:00 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent

  root 473 486 0 08:29 tty1 00:00:00 systemctl start dbus.socket

  root 486 283 0 08:29 tty1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /lib/recovery-
  mode/options/network

  Additionally,

  systemd-analyze blame:
  "Bootup is not yet finished. Please try again later"

  "systemctl list-jobs" is showing a 100 jobs in 'waiting' state

  The only 'running' unit is friendly-recovery.service :
  52 friendly-recovery.service                 start running

  The rest are all "waiting". My understanding is that "waiting" units
  will be executed only after those which are "running" are completed.
  Which explain why the "ctlr-c" allow the boot to continue.

  All the systemd special unit important at boot-up are waiting.
  7 sysinit.target                 start waiting
  3 basic.target                   start waiting
  .....

  Seems like systemd is not fully initialise in 'Recovery Mode' and
  doesn't allow any 'systemctl start' operation without
  password/passphrase request, which I suspect is hidden by the
  recovery-mode menu.
