Alan,
You are right! rescue.img is NOT in the images dir along with
boot.img, bootnet.img, where it should be. Without it, we can be hosed
if we want to recover and not just re-install. It doesn't make much
sense for them to put it somewhere else, and I haven't seen anything that
tells us that they've invented some OTHER way to rescue. In short, it
appears to be one more of the many things that they screwed up!
Oops! (This release was definitely rushed out the door too soon!)
