Oxygen does this too, I believe. It has support for loading modules
from root.lrp - /var/boot/modules to be exact.

Oxygen also has the capability of booting from a disk which is
unsupported under Linux. To explain: the initial boot (linux kernel
load, syslinux...) is done on the disk, then the rest of the boot can
be done via TFTP or a different disk than the boot disk.
All of the other packages, including usr.lrp, doc.lrp, home.lrp, and
others can be loaded off of other disks; the only package required on
the boot disk is root.lrp.
I understand Charles is working towards this with his EigerStein
variant also.
