That would indeed be cool.
I am no dev myself, but even I can see the benefits here. The only danger I can see is that there would have to be some edit to one of the bootup system files, one of the very lowlvel and basic ones, to check for a bootable CF image before it starts booting from the Iliad internal chip. That way, it should even be possible to use an alternate OS, returning to the original would then just be removing the CF card with the alternate bootfiles. If you can really pull this off it could work much like rockbox for mp3 players...:-)
