I think that to make a self-contained rescue floppy I need to include the initrd image as well as the kernel (with an initrd kernel, which I understand all the recent ones are).
My initrd image is considerably bigger than a floppy, so I don't think that will work. What should I do? I can think of several options, all of which have some problems: 1) make a resuce floppy that references the hard disk. Done, but obviously not a robust backup. 2) build a kernel without initrd. A lot of work, and problematic for some setups (e.g., evms potentially requires initrd). 3) user Debian or other generic rescue floppies. These won't be compatible with my particular system, if it's still around (e.g., wrong path to load libraries). 4) burn a rescue CD... never tried it, just thought of it. Any advice, or other options?
