Hmm, this sounds like the (in)famous AHA-2740/2840 boot failure. For some reason, the AIC-7880 chipset, when on a VLB or EISA bus, doesn't like being probed by other SCSI drivers. The rescue disk has many SCSI drivers linked in, so this is a common problem. The solution is to use a rescue disk with only the drivers you need. This means compiling a kernel, so you either need access to a Linux system, or a friend with a system :) I could compile a kernel for you but it wouldn't be before Tuesday (I'm taking a vacation!) I did compile a kernel for someone recently with the same problem ... perhaps they could send it to you. If you're in a hurry I'm sure you can get someone to help.
