I am not in trouble, yet, just planning ahead. Is there a recovery mode for kindle 3?

I've jailbroken mine, installed the recent terminal application along with the excellent launchpad application, etc. I would like for usbNetwork and launchpad to start when the kindle boots up. I assume this means a script in /etc/rc*.d/ Well, if I'm going to mess around with /etc, I'd better take a backup. I am planning to just take an image of the entire disk. But if I brick it, is there a way I can mount the kindle disk without running the code on it? Or some other way I could put the backup image back on the disk?

Also, it's pretty clear what the startup script should be for launchpad. Something like "/mnt/us/terminal/myts.arm &" should work. But what is the CL invocation corresponding to ;debugOn and ~usbNetwork?
