AFAIK, if you don't give any arguments at the rescue disk's "boot:" prompt, it will happily load the ramdisk and mount the filesystem it loads in ramdisk as root. Then, assuming your Linux root is on /dev/hda3, you just "mount /dev/hda3 /mnt" and then "vi /mnt/etc/rc.boot" to your heart's content. -- Evgeny Roubinchtein, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...................
