Actually it is more that that. You can even boot kernel within USB drive with kexec. In this case, you will use Linux in DOC as a bootloader. 1. Boot DOC's Linux 2. Mount usb drive 3. kexec kernel within USB drive
In theory, you can boot Linux system even from memory stick. :) For those who are interested, I have got DOC image support kexec and you can start from there. I only have images for PCCHIPS 758lr+/m787 and PCCHIPS 810 motherboards so far.
