supp.img not useful for "rescue" disks?

I tried using disks with the boot.img and supp.img files from
/mit/linux/redhat/current/i386/images in the mode that involves typing
"rescue" after booting from the first disk. A while after the second
disk was inserted, a few error messages appeared on the screen very
briefly, and then the machine rebooted (or rather, attempted to reboot,
since the supp.img disk was still in the drive). I think the two error
messages I was able to see were
rm: Permission denied
cpio: /sbin/insmod not created: newer or same age version exists
I tried twice and got exactly this same behavior. The machine it was
tried on did not have PCMCIA.
Is this of interest at all? Certainly nothing in the RedHat-Athena
documentation suggests that the disks are intended to work for rescue,
so if users are supposed to make their recsue disks separately, that
seems perfectly fine to me.
