Here's how i created my own bootable rescue cd using Boot CD 0.5.3 (http://www.charlessoft.com)

Boot CD creates a personalized read-write image that can be edited to your liking before burning to CD.

What to include on the Rescue CD:

System utilities:
Apple System Profiler
CPU Monitor
Disk Copy
Net info Manager
Process Viewer

Applications:
Drive 10
DiskWarrior 3
Carbon Copy Cloner 2.1.6

The following items are automatically included when you install OSX:
Console
Disk Utility
System Preferences
Terminal

When you login, your RAM disc will follow this path during startup:

private/etc/RamDiskContents

The location of root's user folder on the boot CD is:

private/etc/RamDiskContents/private/var/root/library/Preferences

If registration files are needed, copy them over onto your Rescue CD from your root library preferences.
root/library/preferences/xxx.xxxxx.plist
(ex. com.Alsoft.DiskWarrior.prefs)

You may need to temporarily log on as root to copy these over.

Once you create your Rescue CD, login to your computer using the following:

Login: root
Pass: bootcd
