what would you recommend the initial interaction be? I am not sure I want
to always jump into user mode. 

We could do this: All the kernel does it say something like: hit return in
5 seconds for recovery boot. Recovery boot is jumping into a ramdisk with
nbc as /sbin/init. Then EVERYTHING is in user mode, but has all the power
of the linux kernel at its command. 

Comments?
