I really hate the concept of a /rescue. I could live with a nullfs<br>
overloading of /bin and /sbin, but so far nobody (including I) has<br>
thought up a good clean way to do it and still have the safety of<br>
static binaries in single-user mode.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>4.4BSD had the convention of calling /rescue /stand (I suppose /stand was actually a bit more restricted, not including as many things as /rescue). Regardless, I never really understood the rationale for changing the name, and it did not seem like a bad way to do things: what is your specific objection?</div>
