Its all the same bring-up bits, but passing in the 'rescue' flag should
replace all "installer" strings with "rescue environment", iirc. When
start up, you generally see "welcome to anaconda, the red hat enterprise
linux rescue environment" versus when doing an install, where you get
"welcome to anaconda, the red hat enterprise linux installer". Could be
I'm mis-remembering something and/or that particular string doesn't get
replaced...
