I tried it last night and it almost did what I wanted (I think). However,
the rescue CD it created didn't handle my off-board IDE controller. It
loaded the module and recognized the device (dmesg). However, the drive
attached wasn't recognized. When the system normally boots (not off the
CD) it prints the info about IDE controller near where the on-board
controller. Off the CD, it prints it after the on-board controller is
detected and the drives attached are detected.
Booting off the rescue CD left me without the HD where the image to
restore was located.
Is there some command to rescan for hard disks after boot?
Oh well, it was close.
Thanks,
Dennis

What followed in dman's response is a perfect example of the problem.
Surely there is a simple (commandline?) application hidden away in the
thousands of programs that come with every Linux distro that could do
the job? Anybody?
