I've done this a few times. The /boot/loader takes a _long_ time to suck in the 25 odd modules my eeepc requires to load a completely modular kernel. It takes a _very long_ time to suck these in over USB. It's a great idea and I think we should start down this path in the 10-CURRENT trajectory but those load times need to be tweaked if possible.
