There is no standalone program (well, a one that you
could run just for this purpose): the rescue
functionality is defined in the rescue.py script in
anaconda (which does device detection, filesystem label
scanning .. etc).

You should be able to unmount /mnt/sysimage
whether it is in ro or rw mode: but first you will
probably need to unmount what is mounted 'below',
ie for example:

df shows:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00	/mnt/sysimage
/dev/hda1                       /mnt/sysimage/boot

in above example you will need to unmount /mnt/sysimage/boot
before unmounting /mnt.sysimage


Best Regards

Jarek
