I had a different problem with the emergency disk.  I couldn't make a
working copy.  Trying to copy the emergency disk onto another disk, I
got the alert saying that there wasn't enough room.  So I used the
disk copy utility from SUM (no number), copying every sector, and the
resulting disk always brought up the initialize alert.  (I tried this
twice, thinking I had a bad disk.)  The emergency disk itself seems to
be OK both when normally inserted and as a startup disk; but I'd
really like to use a copy.  Do I have a bad red disk, or is it
supposed to be uncopyable?

Boilerplate:  Mac SE with 4MB and 6.0.4 and assorted inits.

And on an unrelated note, kudos to Symantec for sending out SAM 3 with
no write tabs in the disks (NUM came with write-enabled disks).
