Issues accessing hdparm and CMD options via terminal

[Very-Bad-Goose]

I am having some trouble accessing the cmd line to utilize the hdparm options to wipe NVME drives in a secure way. Is there something I need to change in the cfg files to access the virtual terminal? Pressing ALT+F2 when on the GUI menu does not do anything. I am on the USB Vanilla v2024.11_27_x86-64_0.38 version. I have tried changing the tty option to tty2 in both grub.cfg files, which did not change anything. Is there some other option I need to add/change to access this virtual terminal? Much appreciated.

My apologies, I just realized the ALT key on the machine I was working on was busted. Carry on!
