By the way, if I understand well, Gaudenz have already done that, but I've managed to boot d-i (from RAM) on the FR, using kernel from pkg-fso and initrd from the versatile port. Of course, it wasn't usable (keyboard needed), and I didn't go further, but at least, it shows that USB-booting is doable and that the 2MB limit mentioned on the doc is off (at least for GTA02, since the multi-file u-boot image I've built exceeds 2MB). Before doing anything else, I'm going to read docs on kernel packaging and debian-installer, now :)
