It would be kind of cool if when managing a remote system if /kernel failed to boot, then on the next boot, the loader will fire up /kernel.old, or a /kernel.somethingorother. Sort of a kernel-clean flag. Then 300 miles away, I can try stuff, and have at least some assurance that I'll eventually be able to get back to a kernel I could use.
