I assume you've seen this:

"The diskboot.img file is a VFAT filesystem image that can be written to a
USB pendrive or other bootable media larger than a floppy.  Note that
booting via USB is dependent on your BIOS supporting this.  It should
be written to the device using dd."

I'd like to see an official Fedora Rescue image for a USB keychain hard 
drive.
