don't forget to modify the routine in config.inc where it looks up 
config.xml and writes out an fstab as well as cfdevice. it currently only 
looks up the first partition and you may want to extend it to try other 
partitions/slices depending on how you've placed the m0n0 backup images.

true, but then hitting F2 to boot off your backup partition when you're in 
the field helps in shortening the recovery time, especially if the users 
are getting anxious. :)
