What a bad idea.

To unlock the drive that image is on, you need already a working initramfs & kernel. If you have that, you can get into a root shell and fix your problem directly. A /boot copy would only be usefull, if /boot got lost ( which happend to my system once ) and in that case on grub entry will be available ;)

But, you gave me a rough idea what a rescue partition needs to be in size and functionality. Calculating with the worst possible outcome ( 1-2G ) we can directly spent this space as a hidden partition on the same drive and have a full grown X11 Gnome System on it. With all the tools needed to fix boot issues, data recovery tools and so on. i think i will give it a try. thx for the inspiration.

best regards,
Marius Schwarz
