Hi Alex, I have put a rh-5.1 boot disk on my ftp server which is halef.rhrz.uni-bonn.de in the directory /pub/images. There also is a readme on how to build yourself such a floppy. However on many mirroring sites the devices are missing in the misc/src/trees directory, which can lead to strange problems. In any case you have to be sure to compile scsi-support in, it must not be compiles as a module. Hope this helps.
