2 recomendations:

1.) BootCD X  TO MAKE A very small streamlined bootable cd IMAGE...

then

2.) use Carbon Copy Cloner to "back up" the CD Image you made onto the 
device in question.  Being sure to check the option to make it 
bootable...

<remember the login/pass for a BootX CD is root/bootcd>

should work perfectly.
