Rather than a "rescue" floppy I usually used tomsrtbt. You can
download it from http://www.toms.net/rb/. The FAQ explains how to use
it as a rescue floppy.
If your PC supports booting from the CD, you could try booting a
knoppix CD. That should give you a working system with internet
access. Here is an article that discusses using a knoppix CD for
rescue:
