I tell you, that having a /stand saved me a hell lot of time when putting bad memory chips in my server box trashed my /bin directory two days ago. (I still don't understand why, having no writing activity on root filesystem (my /tmp is a MFS, and /var is on separate partitition) I have got that; maybe just random memory corruption? I use PCI NCR SCSI card). Anyway, /stand is less than 2 Mb; I better have it as a safety net all the time but have to reinstall the system once damaged root filesystem. (I don't know an easy way to restore only root without manually extracting all the needed files from the distribution using fixit floppy.)
