Did you read the instructions for installing BL1 with
4mb RAM?

I doubt that you will find one.  Rescue disks normally 
boot into a 4mb (or larger) ramdisk.  On top of that, 
you need RAM for kernel and workspace (approximately 3mb).

It overflowed your RAM.

The only rescue disk that might work is one that runs
in a 1mb ramdisk.  Or one that runs on a DOS partition.
Or one that runs on a live floppy.
