Because if you followed the instructions you've got a seperate rescue disk.

Rescue disks fail themselves, etc... I guess I'm of the two belts,

management. Dynamic linking is all well and good for large user-mode
programs, but stuff that's critical for booting should be as
absolutely bullet-proof as possible.
