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.
