I know that on my PCs and Alpha I have created for NT (and 95 for the
piece-of-shit machines) a "rescue disk" so that if things can't cope I can
restore them to some sense of sanity, or at least boot into the OS.
What is the equivalent of a rescue disk for AlphaLinux (and Linux in
general). I assume that my Installation (J Esterbrook's) MILO image can be
used to boot from such a rescue floppy. Or is there a 'backdoor' in the
Installation kernel/ramdisk combo which permits me to exit installation and
run a single-user shell? (I couldn't find any spare virtual consoles when
installing)
