I don't think it's down to the shell, sysresccd includes bash too AFAIR. It's more likely due to me giving your duff information, the file is autorun not .autorun. If you press the help keys at the boot menu, you will eventually find an explanation of how it works, around F5 I think. Aha, just found the proper documentation for it http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_Run_your_own_scripts_with_autorun -- Neil Bothwick Dream as if you'll live forever.
