I did not know the catalyst project so far. But I will give it a look. Something I forgot to mention is, that the target pc104 systems do not allow to boot from cdrom (not attached) or USB (only a dedicated USB floppy drive). I still have to contact the manufacturer to get some informations if a bios update could help in this case to boot from USB (Pendrive or CDROM). Due to the fact that I can not boot from USB the idea to mount the remote target filesystem seemed in my eyes a good alternative to limit the interactions of attaching and detaching the ribbon cables, especially during testing.
