Looks like an old system ;-)

Is it useful to create an own boot disk with the currently used kernel for loading the root-disk into a RAM_DISK ?

Yes, if there are kernel features you need which are not contained in the installation kernels. Maybe you want to download a bootdisk and the rescue disk from our ftp site.

/disks/README gives no instructions about the usage of the rescue-disk. Is an experimental use of bootxx-disk, root-disk, rescue-disk `dangerous' for a running system ?

No, the rescue system is completely independant from the installed system. It runs completely in the ramdisk.

Thanks in advance.
