Amanda does not provide "from bare metal" restore features.  If it
crashes hard you'll need to get the client up enough (e.g. from your
original OS distribution materials) to get on the network and then you
can pull back the dump images and blat over the top of things.

I think there are some "emergency boot" packages available for Linux
that would help, but you'll have to poke around in those OS areas for
more information.
