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. -- Proudly running Debian Linux!
