Not sure I made myself clear. I download devil-linux-1.2.13-i486.tar.bz2.
Untar the file, then burn a cd using bootcd.iso. I then boot the cd and
try
to install the config file to usb. This is where the install stops.

I checked the md5sum for bootcd iso.
md5sum=7293af985c7069d0b1ee950f6fec8583.
obviously completely different from yours.
The md5sum on devil-linux iso was correct.
chmims@Ubuntu:~/downloads$ md5sum devil-linux-1.2.13-i686-SMP-server.tar.bz2
c785816e4a889d59782bfc3a291b073d devil-linux-1.2.13-i686-SMP-server.tar.bz2
Also notice the size of the bootcd.iso file
chmims@Ubuntu:~/downloads/devil-linux-1.2.13-i686-SMP$ ls -al bootcd.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 chmims chmims 38756864 2007-09-20 21:55 bootcd.iso
To burn it:
