Hey, I figured it out... the 'file' program is smart enough to know that the rescue and driver disks are not type msdos but type ext2. I really did try everything I could think of before I posted, but as a last resort I figured I'd see what 'file' would say, and sure enough, it identifed it as an ext2 filesystem-image. So I'm going to mount the image using the loopback device and then install the base system from there.
