What I have done is to build a grub CD that also includes copies of
the kernel and initrd from the desired root device. Grub can then use
the same BIOS I/O to start the kernel and the kernel will have the
device support for the BIOS-inaccessible root device.

whoa...THAT's what I need I think.
can you post an iso of that cd so I can use it as a reference?

OK, you can fetch:

It is grub plus the Ubuntu 9.04 kernel. You can interrupt the boot
sequence and edit the kernel line to specify the desired root
do most of the standard bootloaders (grub/,lilo, etc) have the ability to
boot to usb even when the BIOS doesn't natively support boot to usb or
floppy emulation?
A qualified no.
The qualifier is you could use a plop cd to boot to USB.

I don't think so. I don't know about lilo. I don't think that grub has
the drivers to do

I don't think so. I
i'm trying to avoid using plop, the interface is very ugly and this is for a
professional project.
plop functions perfectly thoughit just looks like a video game from
1985.
could I do a full boot into a small linux like tinycore and then do some
kind of scripted chroot?

If plop functions perfectly, extract its files, extract its
initrd/initramfs
and create a better one. At least examine how they made it work.
it's a binary file, compiled.

Most standard bootloaders do not, i believe the smartbootmanager would be able
