Could be worse (Score:2)

I once accidentally (duh) made all of /lib on a Solaris box non-executable, which meant basically nothing would run. Unfortunately, unlike Linux (and probably BSDs, I'd guess), Solaris doesn't seem to include any "save my ass" statically linked binary like busybox. Fun fun.

  openbsd turned me on to /altroot which is an unmounted backup of the root filesystem. very nice to have when bad things happen.
  
  I put the /altroot partition at the front of the second disk so if the root disk fails/breaks ... I can just boot and run again off the second.
