There was a lot of talk early within the Fedora lists (Maybe during 
FC3). The talk was about Stateless Linux and has a list as below.

Welcome to the distribution. I tried some of your steps when trying to 
rsync an IDE installation to a SATA disk so your attempts which are more 
descriptive as to the steps taken to get to the progress level you are 
at (or the other take, with all the obstacles you encountered)

You can explore the list since it is not heavily tried by a lot of 
people to have stateless Linux. It looks like there are a lot of RH 
employees on the list who might answer your questions. I know nothing in 
detail about the project except the sales pitches from the development 
lists that I read when stateless Linux was first introduced to the 
Fedora list.
