Hmmm... the rescue disk is on the cdrom, so I would think that you shouldn't
need it, the image is in /install i believe... If you can't get it to work,
then you can make the image w/ rawrite2 (also included on the cd).

It's actually not similar to wine at all... Wine is a replacement for the
Windows API I believe, whereas mounting a windows partition is exactly the
same as using it in Windows, some great kernel hacker just reverse-engineered
the file-system or something.
