EFS Linux boot disk

Hi folks

Sorry for the basic nature of
my question, please bear with
me.

I would like to boot my Indigo 2 from a standalone linux rescuedisk which can read & write to the EFS file system, in a similar manner to an Irix miniroot.

How can I do this?

I'll be building the disk as a CD using my PC.

I'll download and install any version of Linux you suggest for the job. I'll even give it it's own hard drive :-)

Thanks.
