My idea was to still have the AmigaOS system on my HD, but just to boot Amithlon from the keychain.   This way of starting Amithlon would be more preferable to me then using the CD or trying to set it up on a seperate harddrive partition.  

Then maybe I'd just wire the keychain up inside the computer case so that it sort of becomes an Amiga motherboard :)  Same thing would probably be possible by making some sort of ROM that I could hack on to the motherboard, but this way would be easier and easier to update if necessary.

It would be cool to make a customised ramdisk image and have the whole thing on the key chain, or better if there was USB support so you could just use the keychain as a drive after Amithlon started up.

But for now I just want to have Amithlon boot from the USB drive and then have the Amiga HD take over from there.

Can't you junt install Amithlon on a hard drive partition and dual boot using grub?  :-?
