Having the RDSHELL boot argument is very nice, as if you get error during boot that won't even allow single user mode (things like can't find root device, or a module failed to load, etc) you can get a rudimentary shell in the initial ramdisk environment. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems for a lot more info. Having said that, I've not tried on a live EL6 system as yet, so YMMV, of course.
