Restore it as you would any other DC. The documentation that you refer to is either out of date, or incorrect. The DS will invalidate the current RID pool when you restore and request a new one from the RID master (itself) which should be the same value as it was when it went down (if the backup is from the night before or very recent, unless you've been doing lots of security principal creations). If it isn't, the new value will be replicated in (the value is held by all DCs -I don't think the RID master does anything different when replicating) as far as I'm aware.
The issues with the RID master arise if you have multiple RID masters. Which, with k3 shouldn't really be possible if network and replication are OK.
There were a bunch of changes made in SP1, SP2 and SP3 for the RID master and the way a DC handles its current RID pool, etc. As far as I'm aware, all of these issues are in the past and Win2k SP4/ Wink3 don't have any problems.

How do I move the RID role when that server is already crashed? I want to recover from the loss of the RID master, so I canot move it since it is not available. Or there is a way to do it?

I always recommend transferring FSMO roles from a box before upgrading it, then moving it back after the upgrade is completed successfully.
If you've got enough DCs to justify splitting FSMO roles, you've got enough to move it to another box for a week to upgrade the box.

When the RID flexible single-master operations DC is restored, it may use old RID pool values, and it can cause the restored RID flexible single-master operations DC to begin issuing duplicate SIDs.
The best way is:
- to use another DC to seize the RID master role.
- Rebuild the OS on crashed DC and promote it back as Domain Controller
- transfer the RID master role back to the rebuild DC.

Colleagues,
We have a server which crashed during upgrade (2000 to 2003). Now we want to restore it.
Problem is this server is the RID holder and the documentation on the technet says
