what you might want to do is compile a custom kernel which includes all needed
drivers for that particular box, and replace the linux file on the rescue disk
with the one you compiled. Don't forget to compile ramdisk support into that
kernel. If you don't have a linux box around, contact me, and I will compile
the kernel for you.
