Every system should have ONE fully static shell for this case.
I don't think so, for rescue, the boot process should stop and switch root into the initrd, where you can find a working shell. if the initrd is the broken piece, then you will have to boot with a live cd/dvd/usb to fix the system.
Remember how the initrd is build: broken system, broken initrd. Murphy will really be your bossom friend with such thinking. The availibity of such a extern "rescue media" is diametral to the need of such. - Yamaban. PS: Just how old is the disk in your system? Murphy greets you. PPS: I'm not bitter, just jaded by reality.
