Steps for installing system rescue CD on USB are mentioned on http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_install_SystemRescueCd_on_an_USB-stick. Automated steps to install from linux using shell script do not work. Detailed steps that work are:

  • Create folder for USB - 'mkdir /mnt/usbstick'
  • Mount USB (Fat32) partition: 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /mnt/usbstick'
  • Remove all files: 'rm -rf /mnt/usbstick/*'
  • Download latest system rescue CD image and mount it on /mnt/cdrom using 'mount -o loop <iso_file> /mnt/cdrom'
  • Use following commands to copy files to USB
cp -af /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usbstick/
rm -rf /mnt/usbstick/syslinux
mv /mnt/usbstick/isolinux/isolinux.cfg /mnt/usbstick/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
sed -i -e 's/scandelay=1/scandelay=5/g' /mnt/usbstick/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
mv /mnt/usbstick/isolinux /mnt/usbstick/syslinux
  • Make disk bootable using
umount /mnt/usbstick
syslinux /dev/sdf1
sync
