Install on Adaptec 7890?



Problem: Dell Precision 410 has two SCSI adapters on the motherboard,
Adaptec 7880 with CD-ROM connected and Adaptec 7890 with the hard
drive. Now installing Debian 2.0 fails. It sees the CD-ROM but not the 
hard drive. 

It seems this is because the Debian 2.0 Rescue disk has kernel 2.0.34, 
and this kernel does not support Adaptec 7890. I looked at 2.0.36
kernel, which seems to have this support. I compiled a new kernel with 
2.0.36 sources, and got boot-floppies Debian package, but have not
figured out how to get this new kernel on a Rescue Disk. 

Does some kind soul already have a Rescue disk with support for
Adapted 7890? Or can someone give me some advice on making the disk.
