miBoot is what's used on the Debian rescue/install floppies. So you
could replace the kernel on one of those, using the Replacing Kernel
on the Rescue Floppy install manual instructions, to give it a
try. (If that works, you could then change the boot parameters on the
floppy to boot your system instead of the ramdisk installer - and
you'd always have to use the floppy to boot with.)
Otherwise you can download System 7.5.3 from apple.com.
