    18 <para>This section is really about creating a <emphasis>rescue</emphasis>
    19 device.  As the name <emphasis>rescue</emphasis> implies, the host
    20 system has a problem, often lost partition information or corrupted file
    21 systems, that prevent it from booting and/or operating normally.  For
    22 this reason, you <emphasis>must not</emphasis> depend on resources from
    23 the host being "rescued".  To presume that any given partition or hard
    24 drive <emphasis>will</emphasis> be available is a risky presumption.</para>

    26 <para>In a modern system, there are many devices that can be
    27 used as a rescue device: floppy, cdrom, usb drive, or even a network card. 
    28 Which one you use depends on your hardware and your BIOS.  In the past,
    29 we usually thought of rescue device as a floppy disk.  Today, many
    30 systems do not even have a floppy drive.</para>

    32 <para>Building a complete rescue device is a challenging task.  In many

    34 In addition, it would be a repitition of information already available.
    35 For these reasons, the procedures for a rescue device image are not
    36 presented here.</para>

    42 <para>The software of today's systems has grown large.  Linux 2.6 no longer
    43 supports booting directly from a floppy.  In spite of this, there are solutions
    44 available using older version of Linux.  One of the best is Tom's Root/Boot
    45 Disk available at <ulink url='http://www.toms.net/rb/'/>.  This will provide a
    46 minimal Linux system on a single floppy disk and provides the ability to
    47 customize the contents of your disk if necessary.</para>

    54 <para>There are several sources that can be used for a rescue CD-ROM.
    55 Just about any commercial distribution's installation CD-ROMs or
    56 DVDs will work.  These include RedHat, Mandrake, and SuSE.  One
    57 very popular option is Knoppix.</para>

    59 <para>In addition, the LFS Community has developed its own Boot
    60 CD-ROM available at <ulink url='ftp://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/isos/'/>.
    61 A copy of this CD-ROM is available with the printed version of the Linux
    62 From Scratch book.  If you download the ISO image, use <xref linkend='cdrecord'/> to
    63 copy the image to a CD-ROM.</para>

    72 <para>A USB Pen drive, sometimes called a Thumb drive, is recognized by Linux as
    73 a SCSI device.  Using one of these devices as a rescue device has the advantage
    74 that it is usually large enough to hold more than a minimal boot image.  You
    75 can save critical data to the drive as well as use it to diagnose and recover
    76 a damaged system.  Booting such a drive requires BIOS support, but building the
    77 system consists of formatting the drive, adding <application>grub</application>
    78 as well as the kernel and supporting files.</para>
