I had a similar problem with a dell 1600SC, there are
two options in order to solve this:
1. Preload existing modules from a floppy or floppies.
2. Replace the kernel in the rescue disk with your
own.
Both of them are explain at the chapter 10 of the
documentation at:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html
Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For Intel x86
Chapter 10 - Technical Information on the Boot
Floppies
It works for me.
I hope this help.
