submenu "SystemRescueCd 64 bit options" {
        menuentry "SystemRescueCd with default options" {
                linux (loop)/isolinux/rescue64 isoloop=$isofile
                initrd (loop)/isolinux/initram.igz
        }

        menuentry "SystemRescueCd with all files cached to memory" {
                linux (loop)/isolinux/rescue64 isoloop=$isofile docache
                initrd (loop)/isolinux/initram.igz
        }
}

You can also add extra boot options, like setting the keymap to avoid the
boot process pausing to ask for your choice.

There's also a way to boot systemrescuecd from a bootloader that doesn't
support ISO loading, like the systemd UEFI boot manager (aka gummiboot).
