I've found that creating a small ext2 root filesystem on another
partition comes in handy if you run into problems with your reiser
filesystem.  Just make sure the kernel on the ext2 filesystem supports
reiserfs and has the necessary reiserfs debug tools.  With the price of
large drives these days, I don't see this being a problem.
