I already tried that but ran in a hen/egg problem: I must overlay the flash drive over the rootfs _after_ mounting jffs over the squashfs root because I need the config to know which usb storage device i should use.

I was on rewriting the automount script to use uuid based config for supporting multiple usb drives. But some time ago my usb-enabled router died so I stopped working on it.
