not a stupid question at all!  i've never successfully made a rescue
disk before so any tips and comments are greatly appreciated.

what i did in this case was just replace the kernel image 'linux' on
the rescue disk w/ a zimage renamed to 'linux' -- is there anything
else that i need to do?  or do i need to alter the existing rdev commands?
