Probably you want something that actually boots the system too. I don't
know if the ISOLINUX pakage supports a LILO kind of thing, but I guess it
does. That should be in the MBR of your flash disk and you could probably
boot it. I wrote the instructions by mind, so probably something is
missing :)

ISOLINUX is part of a family--SYSLINUX for booting from hard drives, ISOLINUX for booting from CDs, and PXELINUX for booting over the network. The configuration is nearly identical for all three.


Strictly speaking, you don't really even need the rescue disk. It's surprisingly easy to build a complete Linux system from scratch using uclibc and busybox. Just build busybox statically linked to uclibc (amazingly enough, the last time I did that, the static uclibc busybox was smaller then the dynamically linked glibc busybox) and install it to a temp directory. Then create a couple extra directories (/dev, /tmp, /etc), populate /dev, create a short /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and you should have a bootable Linux image in under 1 MB. Add asterisk to that, and you'll be ready to go.
