I spent more time than I should have trying this out every way 'til Sunday. No dice. First of all /root is in a tmp folder (/var/tmp/root) so anything you put there is volatile. I created /root on / and put /.ssh/authorized_keys there but sshfs didn't try to use it.

sftp doesn't work because it's not installed and the hack to put it in /usr/libexec won't work because there's no /usr/libexec directory on the K4.
