I should just point out that you can already have USB root in a way consistent with OpenWrt mainline and that is described here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/UsbStorageHowto if possibly a little out of date, you should get the idea. In one way it makes maintenance easier if only the kernel goes in the on-board flash, and everything else on the USB stick, but with OpenWrt the kernel changes so fast that I'm not sure how wise this really is (kernel modules have to be compatible, after all). What I'd really like to see (and I don't believe this would be too difficult) is a second-stage bootloader that actually pulls the kernel off the USB stick. For the Edimax BR-6104KP I have at least *some* of the code needed to do this - just haven't managed to finish it yet. regards, biff.
