Maybe another option would be to boot by PXE network

Possibly. Where the stereo cabinet is, there's not a reasonable way to
use wired LAN, so it'd have to be wireless.

To use PXE network boot your network card must have BIOS making it capable
to boot. Some network cards have a socket for placing a PROM with such a
BIOS. Many motherboards with builtin NICs also have such a BIOS which can
be enabled in the CMOS setup.

However, wireless network is a little bit more complex than wired lan. I
don't know if there are any wireless cards which it is possible to boot
from.
