I had the following email discussion a long time ago, this was during the 6.2 beta cycle. I just noticed with beta4 that this is still not fixed, and since there still is no seperate rescue disk bugzilla entry I'm filing this against anaconda.

Request for separate "rescue disk" bug-bucket is bug number 14861
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston gold-release
Fixed in RC1.
/etc/services has been fixed, but /dev/tty is still a regular file instead of a char device 5-0. I don't want to be a smartass, but maybe next time actually try to see if it is really fixed yourself?
I was able to use ftp to transfer files using the rescue mode in the final 7.0 product.
