The packed initrd image at ‘/boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz’ can be used as a rescue ramdisk (choose from the boot menu to go to the ‘rescue ramdisk’, or when the real root mount fails).

The ‘/rescue’ tools can be used directly when you come across problems with the base system’s tools, avoiding rebooting into the rescue mode.
