You didn't specify the version you use,however if you boot from redhat's CD into rescue - the CD is already mounted under /mnt/source

to install the package from it use the following command:
rpm --root
/mnt/sysimage /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/packagename --force

By the way - it looks like you didn't take the time to assign points for answers...

To mount cdrom in the rescue mode You should create a block device first:

# mknod /tmp/tmpcdrom b 22 0
# mount -t iso9660 /tmp/tmpcdrom /cdrom
