Sounds cool.  Hopefully one way or another whatever storage or 
filesystem is used for the kernel by the bootloader can always be made 
reachable by a Linux mtd or other block device and it'll work out 
cleanly scriptable without losing flexibility or filling up the kernel 
spec file with specifics.
