Here's a list that may help:

It's a Dell Latitude. I see F2 is what I'm after. (F12 definitely worked to get the grub menu, though. Nice to see it, even though it's not what I'm after now!) It's good to know it's not just my imagination that shift won't do much. Thank you.

F2 right at the start works. However, I now have an entirely different problem. I can't run a fsck check as I have to have 'r/w access to the filesystem or be root.' I created a new sudo password but it didn't allow me that far in. So how to proceed?

Oh yes I can. Figured it out. Ran a fsck, which I expected to take hours. Nothing. All fine.
