In Amazon ec2 they have no console access (though I heard rumors that
it was available I have not seen any sign of it) so I'd like to put a
"recovery partition" into an AMI.
The trick is how to convince it to boot to that instead of the regular
action.
The ideal thing would be if there was
I keep an extra EBS volume handy that has a simple recovery image. If I get
stuck into a trouble, I change the normal boot disk to sdb, and attach my
recovery volume as sda1. Essentially, the extra volume is my "recovery
partition". To make it cheaper, keep only a snapshot of it.
Same idea on
