Mike,
there are docs named HOWTO-????. There is also one about boot/root disks.
I recommend you to boot from redhat instalation CD and after launch pres Alt-F2 (or F3,4... a can't remember) to get into free console with bash prompt.
Then mount your hacked(TM) disk and try to repair. devik

man mkbootdisk

Basically you do
mkbootdisk version-number-of-your-kernel

Sometimes with the addition of --device /dev/fd0 as this:
mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 version-number-of-your-kernel

The kernel version you are running can be seen by doing:
uname -a

A Slackware boot disk can do wonders here -

I never cared for Red Hat's rescue disks - even though I have run Red Hat since '97, I still use Slackware boot/root floppies for this type of situation...
