I didn't see much point in adding the other things of the README, those are build related. Note that this is my first foray into mdoc ever, so there is bound to be wrong markup in here :) --Stijn --=20 Beware of he who would deny you access to information.

The contents of /rescue are all statically linked and do not depend on anything in /bin or /sbin. In particular, they will continue to function even if one of those directories or the dynamically linked executables in them becomes corrupted. For example, note that /rescue/mount runs /rescue/mount_nfs and not /sbin/mount_nfs. .Pp As an added bonus, /rescue is fairly small (thanks to .Xr crunchgen 1 ) and includes a number of tools (such as .Xr gzip 1 , .Xr bzip2 1 , and .Xr vi 1 ) that are not normally found in /bin and /sbin. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /rescue" -compact .It Pa /rescue Root of the .Nm hierarchy. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr boot 8 , .Xr crash 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page first appeared in .Fx 5.2 . .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Gordon Tetlow Aq gordon@FreeBSD.org , .An Stijn Hoop Aq stijn@win.tue.nl . --GV0iVqYguTV4Q9ER-- --m972NQjnE83KvVa/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD4DBQE/AVXOY3r/tLQmfWcRAvUmAJd9I8LCSF9cpA5oy7h6VJVj7HX8AJsGFQhV xhEca10BoDnAEaiixsOtvA== =O+BE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --m972NQjnE83KvVa/--
