My vdr-system has the whole vdr/glibc/bin/modules-things in a initrd ram disc which is loaded by the bios together with the kernel. Boot time (after bios-checks) is < 10 seconds to see a picture and about 20 seconds until the system is ready to replay/record on a Duron 1300 board.
That sounds interesting. Can you post any more details or links to how to set this up?
The "Compact Flash Linux Project" seems to be a good starting candidate for this kind of setup. Other small (ie. fast) staring points can be found here : http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Mini_Distributions/
