I don't usually worry about rescue disks. Slap in the
install CD, and when you get to the bit where it flashes
up "Entering second stage install" hit CTRL+ALT+F1. You'll
get a bash prompt. mkdir /r then mount /dev/sda1 (or whatever)
onto this. Then copy the module and do whatever you need to
do in conf.modules or your rc scripts to load the module.
