You shouldn't need it. You can always boot your existing RH
install by passing appropriate arguments to the kernel, for
example, something like the following is pretty much guaranteed
to get you to a point where you can fix stuff:

	linux root=/dev/sda2 init=/bin/sh

Obviously replace /dev/sda2 with the correct device for your
root filesystem.

Alternatively, you can use "linux rescue" at the prompt on
your RH install disks.
