Knoppix has a way of doing this. I've played with it... essentially
the boot code looks a specific config file on each device ... putting
the image with the LiveCD last. As soon as it finds one, it looks in
their for the path to several things such as the home directory,
network config files, menu config files, etc.
Missing Operating System... grub (or is it lilo this time) sounds
like its toast. FWIW...

vfat? I'll try ext3 and see what happens.
