might need available when my fancy-schmanzy root-fs fails to show up at |

Always have a known good kernel and initramfs to fall back on, and tuck |

away some extra tools on the stick. Put some (statically linked) |
| 10 |
*parted,lvm,md and formatting binaries on there and you can easily |
| 11 |
rearrange things before mounting the root fs. |
