i find it even more convienent to leave a small kfs around and leave
a non-default entry in plan9.ini which uses it as root.  then, should
the need arise, i can just enter the number of the resecue option on
boot.  looking for a cd is positively no fun when things are not working.

I have two CD's so if I ever need one
I can get twice as frustrated when they are both lost somewhere <G>
