Okay, so should I just use [F1]|Rescue instead?

This is just for install, though, right? I'm referring to the need for
boot floppies for already-installed servers in case boot record gets
trashed or whatever. I guess CD "rescue" would work for that, although
doing chroot and preventing any hope of a graceful shutdown is kinda
ugly.
