There's really not much use for installing partimage on Gentoo since partimage cannot backup or restore mounted file systems. Unless you want to setup a partimage server for other pc's to use, or backup partitions from other operating systems while running Gentoo. SystemRescueCd is an iso file, you use it to burn a bootable cd to perform misc tasks on your pc. Basically, for partimage use... you boot from the cd, mount a partition to write the backup images to and run partimage.
