Neat work! Thanks Martin and all. Is it possible to use root-on-NFS rather than a USB disk? I expect this would mean a suitable kernel image flashed into the NSLU2, and a pre-prepared root tarball to be extracted on the host. The cheapest disk at my local computer store is the same price as the NSLU2 itself. And I don't really need 100Gb for it.
