using rescue disk to boot from root on hard disk?

[Christian Schwarz <schwarz@monet.m.isar.de>]

Hi folks!

Does someone now if it is possible to use the new rescue disks to boot
up an installed system on the hard disk?

I want to have one in case lilo is not working. This worked fine with
the old boot disk (I just specified root=/dev/sda3) but this doesn't work
now, since kernel tries to load the ramdrive anyways. I also tried setting
load_ramdrive=0 but this seams to get overwritten by the kernel
parameters stored on the disk.


Thanks in advance,

Chris
