Hmm, I really do not understand how is it different (adding back the rescue options)

ks.cfg: rescue == try some sane defaults (as in the UI)
ks.cfg: rescue --nomount == linux rescue nomount
ks.cfg: rescue --romount == try the defaults but read only

The proposed 'mount' command just gives more flexibility. Instead of mounting
read only under /mnt/sysimage the user can specify what device to be mounted
where and how. It's extra functionality which does not conflict with the current
one.

I don't think another line more in a kickstart file is more complicated. It's
more flexible though. It's arguable if this is more useful as we don't really
know what people do or expect from rescue mode.

As it seems that only the 'rescue [--nomount|--romount]' code will be accepted
at this time I'll rework the patches and then come back later to the 'mount'
command.

Alexander.
