Well, if you want your installed Linux to be booted by a CD, you need to burn your own bootable CD - just use the image of your boot floppy as boot image in `mkisofs -b`. When booting in rescue mode you can get your system by typing `chroot /mnt/sysimage`, but you still run the CD kernel, not your own installed kernel, so additional drivers you might have compiled in will not work.
