How 'bout : XAUTOLOG deadone STORAGE 512M IPL 200
Where the R/O disk 200 has a rescue system that will run from ramdisk,
uses your central LDAP to authenticate (or has the well known root
password) and tries to mount the file system as /sysimage or what have
you. It should probably come up only with an IP address in your
service network, not at the live (outside) network, but that's up to
you. Bonus points if you make the rescue system in an NSS with a cool
name.
Obviously you could also let PROP do the autolog or use a web site to
trigger it.

Okay, but what about the times when one of the older SLES 8 vm's has a
low memory condition and it's qeth driver goes to lala land? If I don't
want to reboot the vm, I have to fix this via the console. Doesn't
happen often, but it does happen.
