Another option, and something that I use to build "Swiss army knife"-type utility USB drives is Easy2Boot.

Http://www.easy2boot.com

It builds the bootable environment, you just add the raw ISO or what have you, in the appropriate directory and away you go.

I do SL installs with it since I can load my system diagnostics on the stick, run them, reboot and drop into the installer without changing media.

While this is not ScientificLinux-specific, the instructions for gentoo
at http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bootable_DOS_USB_stick might help you.
(The ms-sys package can be found in repoforge; specifically, see
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/ms-sys/ ).

Alternatively, use unetbootin (available for SL in the EPEL repository)
to make a FreeDOS USB stick; for most BIOS flashing and similar purposes
a FreeDOS USB stick works fine.
