    Full rescue support was not integrated into d-i by the time sarge was
    released.

    The latest Installers have a rescue option:
    """
    Rescue with post-Sarge daily built images
    The post-Sarge daily built images have a new rescue boot option. This will
    use the first part of the installation process to set up a working system,
    ask you to select the device that holds your root partition, and will then
    mount that partition and chroot to it.
    Note: you will need to mount any other file systems (including proc)
    manually, despite what 'mount' will tell you.
    """
    It should be available for etch.
