Hmm..
I am sure that there must be better solutions, but here is one attempt:
1) Create a FreeDOS boot disk.
2) Copy linux24 from a DSL floppy-usb boot disk and a freely available program called "loadlin" to your FreeDOS boot disk.
3) Try booting linux with:
A:\loadlin.exe A:\linux24 init=/etc/init root=/dev/sda1
I have not tried this, but it might work.
Since it skips the initial ram disk, it hopefully will immediatly boot from the init on your USB hard drive installation. This assumes that the USB mass storage support is compiled directly into the kernel and is not installed via modules in the initial ram disk.
It probably won't work but give it a try. Floppy disks are cheap.
