An update: I managed to get things to work by using, of all things, the
SuSE boot disk. It will boot and let you reboot into your installed OS.
Unfortunately all of the installed modules fail to load with the kernel
booted from the floppy, but the SuSE install will also let you load modules
for your network card. That done, the machine booted to the point where I
could get the kernel RPMS from dialnet, install them, and boot. Wow.
Just in case, the procedure I followed was:
Boot dialnet RedHat boot disk. Install RedHat.
When it reboots, boot the SuSE boot disk.
Load the appropriate network module.
Choose 'install system', the 'boot installed system'.
You should have networking. Grab the updated kernel RPMS from dialnet,
install them, build a new initrd, fix lilo.conf and reboot. Success.
That was way too difficult...
