I'm agreeing with Simon here.  This manpage documents the rescue system,
not the rescue command, and therefore belongs in section 7.
I'm not anywhere near a -CURRENT machine at the moment, but if running

        $ /rescue/rescue

doesn't do anything, then as far as I'm concerned it doesn't belong in
section 8.  If it does, then a new manpage should be written documenting
the command rescue(8) and added to section 8.
