- Mount a bootable DMG image so it appears in /Volumes (eg. /Volumes/SomeAppDisk)
- Stick in a USB Key you don't mind erasing (eg. /Volumes/USBToBeWiped )
- From a terminal type
sudo asr --restore --source /Volumes/SomeAppDisk --target /Volumes/USBToBeWiped --erase
- wait ....10....20....30....40....50....60....70....80....90....100
Note: --erase will cause the usb key to be wiped AND is what 'bless'es the device so it becomes bootable.
There you go..

You need to mention or people need to know a few things. You cannot use the Install MAc OSX from the install disc or use the startup disc. The only way it will boot is using the "Option" on startup. Other than that it works great. In fact i just used it on my External Firewire drive
Does this work with .iso files as well?
Sorry David, not to my knowledge. No.
@david I did use disk utility to save an iso file as a DMG, and the rest worked fine.
Here's the instructions:
