The user +specifies 'linux rescue' at the syslinux prompt when the CDROM boots. +Then the kernel and an initial ramdisk is loaded. The installer is +run and the user is dropped into bash. + +The upd-instroot script in the anaconda/ source toplevel directory +is responsible for creating the instimage which is used as the +root for the rescue environment. It is located in /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/instimage +when the CDROM is mounted under /mnt/cdrom. + + |
