VxVM boot disk recovery

If there is a failure to boot from the VxVM boot disk on Linux, the recovery method depends on the type of failure.

The following are some possible failure modes:

Failed boot disk
Failed boot disk mirror
Accidental use of the -R, fallback or lock option with LILO
Missing or corrupted master boot record
Missing or corrupted /etc/fstab file
Missing or corrupted /etc/vx/volboot file

If recovery fails, recovery by reinstallation may be required.
