Disaster recovery methods

Guys,
as you know there are in some families like mine some little "things" 3ft tall with HANDS, that always touch things dont have to, for example deleting things from mc or hdd. As murphy's law, the first file to delete will be mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF if you have dev1, to make it the worse case, suppose that the laser is dead. The only solution to this issue is to have a backup MC with at least EXECFTPs installed as BOOT.ELF. Do ya have another idea??? Cause i dont know how to boot from hdd, I think there is no way by the moment...
