I've seen people say they have a rescue ISO image in their /boot
partition. I'd like to try this; is there any particular knack to it,
or do I just copy the ISO image into place? I'm using bootctl from sys-boot/systemd-boot.

Unlike GRUB, systemd-boot doesn't have the ability to boot directly from
an ISO image (GRUB can mount the ISO) but if you are using System Rescue,
you can mount the mage and copy the relevant files to /boot. Full instructions are on the System Rescue site, here the the boot loader
entry I use
title System Rescue 9.01
version 9.01
linux /sysresccd/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
options archisobasedir=sysresccd archisolabel=boot setkmap=uk rootpass=password1 initrd /sysresccd/boot/x86_64/sysresccd.img
You need to set a filesystem label on /boot and use that for the
archisolabel argument.
