Re: Adding Things to Rescue Mode

I haven't done this in a long time but I thought it's possible to load 
drivers from an NFS source as you boot into rescue mode.  Don't you 
append simply append 'dd' to the end of the boot line and the rescue cd 
prompts you for what you want to load and from where?

I use a LiveCD as rescue system.

What about building an own LiveCD? See
