You can use "open" (might be named "openvt") to spawn a shell on
tty2/tty3/etc.  And if you have "screen" installed, Ctrl-a c spawns new
terminals (Ctrl-a n/p/0-9 to switch).

You may use netconsole to log everything kernel says to another machine.  I
can't provide you with the incantations from the top of my head (got working
serial (far more reliable) on all my dev boxes, and it doesn't work with
bridging ie containers on production), but as your rescue shell has no
network sharing, assuming your network card driver supports a feature
netconsole needs _and_ stars were aligned right when your network card was
manufactured, netconsole is a valuable aid.

The system might be not dead enough to stop userland network logging from
getting through, too.
