    Single-file rescue USB

    This is why UEFI is cool. It enables scenarios like this: a single executable for the kernel, an initramfs, and a command line.

    To demonstrate this feature and have a useful product, I created a shell script, which creates a “rescue” image on Fedora with the rescue kernel and rescue initrd. The kernel command line “rd.auto” instructs dracut to assemble all devices, while waiting 20 seconds for device appearance “rd.retry=20″ and drop to a final shell because “root=/dev/failme” is specified (which does not exist of course). Now in this shell you can fsck your devices, mount them and repair your system.
