As the rescue CDROM project suffered from this sort of problems all
the time, Kern decided to go a different way - using an adapted Ubuntu
to boot from a USB stick (it's probably possible to use a CD as a boot
media with a bit of effort, too).
You'll find the necessary stuff in the svn: trunk/rescue/linux/usb. I
don't know how detailed the manual is, but a quick glance reveals two
README files at least.
Hope you succeed using that stuff!
