Thanks to everybody who replied... you all helped! I got the new rescue disk working...
As the "readme.txt" says on the rescue disk I built a kernel with ramdisk and initrd along with the IDE, SCSI, and filesystem stuff I needed. I did a 'make bzImage' and renamed that kernel image "Linux". I copied this kernel to the floppy, overwriting the other one. Next before I mount the floppy and run /mnt/rdev.sh, I needed to not only create the device /dev/ram0 (using /dev/MAKEDEV ram0) I had to make the ramdisk module. After these two things were done, I mounted the floppy, ran /mnt/rdev.sh, and unmounted the floppy. It now boots fine... I do not know if this will solve my problem, but I can tweak the kernel later, I know how to create a custom kernel on my rescuedisk... It all seems almost simple in hind sight... <grin>!
