A list member actually made up a BL2 bootable CD.  He had it available for
download but I doubt it's still there: I recall him saying something like
he would only have the image available for a couple of weeks, and that's
probably been a year or so ago.  I downloaded it myself but didn't try it
out, and I think I lost that file when I inadvertently deleted a bunch of
stuff recently.  A search of the archive (using Stephen Clement's method)
should at least turn up information about the onlist exchange about the
project.
