> You can get Linux to pseudo-boot to the USB key using a complex
> invocation using an "initrd" and "pivot root" (Linux terminology).
> Basically, you boot to an in-RAM filesystem image that contains the
> USB modules. The system boots up, loads the USB modules, and then
> does whats called a "pivot root" (not chroot) to the USB filesystem.
