And that's what RUNT Linux does. It can be installed on any device
that's not normally thought of as being bootable from USB. Such as a
moderately sized HD stuck into a holder, and booted that way.

Did you visit his pages to see how he accomplished it?

Thanks for helping me. But this isn`t exactly what I mean. It`s very interesting anyway.

It seams the boot floppy disk can start up any standard linux distro. It`s like grub booting any distro... Like...

title           Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

But I am talking about chain booting. Hand over control to another bootloader who resident in mbr. Like booting windows or any other os.

title           boot hd0,0
root            (hd0,0)
