How do you update a system you cannot boot (SuSE 7.2 in this case)? The
docs on the CD of maintenance I have say to 'run yast2 from the installed

I have a ton of patches on the one maint CD I recieved. I was even able to
use this to get an init ramdisk that could handle fdasd/dasdfmt properly,
but I'm at a loss to figure out how to get the maint into a system that I
cannot bring up. I am running in LPAR mode, as we have no VM (budget)
available, so I can't even make 3390-3 images to use instead.
