I had an idea for a (relatively) simple way to allow booting
linux+mini from USB or other sources - alter mini so that when it
loads, it checks some predefined spot in RAM for ARM and PPC code, and
if present uses that instead of going out to SD. All the loader would
have to do then is get the files into RAM and switch IOS to bootmii.
Needing to use an SD card kinda sucks, especially when there's some
compatibility issues.
I see the bootmii/mini source is publicly available but I'm not
familiar with what's necessary to update the installed IOS with it.
