how to exit dracut shell

Hi, I’m new to all this. Ran ‘zypper update’. Then ‘reboot’. Then ‘journalctl’ when prompted. After that don’t know what happened but I’ve ended up with dracut/:# The cursor is blinking but will not allow me to type any commands. What caused this and how do I get out of it? All help will be greatly appreciated.

While this was written for Fedora, I think it will still apply to your situation: http://linuxsysconfig.com/2013/03/use-the-dracut-shell-to-troubleshoot-filesystems/.

Also, CTRL-D to exit the dracut shell.
