It'd be nice to be able to add something like
http://www.nu2.nu/diskemu/; however, it's not source-available, so it
probably doesn't belong on official CDs.
Another possibility might be HPA's isolinux tool, based on syslinux:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php with or without MEMDISK
http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php; basically, instead of putting
the rescue disk in the boot sector, you put the isolinux image there,
and have a menu to choose between kernels to load.
