If you are hosed enough to require /rescue/sh then you are pretty much 
by definition running in single user mode. Your console options at this 
point are local (cons25) or the serial port (most likely vt100 or 
xterm), so those three will cover >99% of the cases. Anyone with a 
Hazeltine 1500 or adm3a serial console will already know how to use 
ed(1).
