Click to expand... Can I archieve this by using an SD card too that points to the usb by editing autoboot.txt and fstab?

Like for nfs root, at some point of the boot process, the / can be switched from the initrd to another partition. For example : Code: # Switch to real root partition: echo 0x0100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev mount -o ro,nolock -t $ROOTFS $ROOTDEV /mnt --- umount /proc umount /sys echo "${INITRD}: exiting" exec switch_root /mnt /sbin/init $RUNLEVEL And as usb is compiled inside the OP kernel, it's a big step in :^).
