    My requirement is that i need to boot from USB device where the BIOS is
    going to get the bootimage(dont know how to create this image) from another
    persistant storage.
    This boot image will run from RAM. Uses initrd as teh file system...
    This boot image should install the boot loader and create the file system
    with necessary files in it on the USB
    Later this bootimage will get the actual kernel that has many applications
    in it and overwrite the old kernel.
    It then goes for a reboot where the BIOS finds that there is a bootloader
    installed on the USB , executes thsi and comes up
    with the large kernel.

    now the question is..
        How to create this boot image(or can i say this as mini kernel)??

    Thanks
    Uday
