I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect that "man 8 pivot_root" holds the key.

It's my plan for an alternate root file system on a 4 GB CF Hitachi 
Microdrive with my "Canadian cross-compile " that includes all the 
gumstix "gcc" development tools.  Why not just compile everything using 
a gumstix that fits in your pocket?

Best regards,
