That is a neat trick. Now when you mount your root

I am wondering if perhaps someone tried another neat trick of an rm -rf *
on your disk which stopped after rm was deleted or number of files rm
could handle was exceeded due to environment limitations.
No, I think that /dev/hd2 and /dev/hd4 still have all the original
files. There are binaries for ls and others there, but when
I try to run them I immediately get a succint "killed" message.
I wonder if this "recovery" shell isn't meant to run executables
on the HD.
