What you could do is to make a boot process similar to most rescue or live-cd/usb. The idea is to make the whole thing run in ram, so boot by using network or memory stick, copy squashfs to ram and run from there. Should be lightning fast.
Do you have a howto for this? I would like to give it a try myself.
The easiest starting point would be Debian Live http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/ because it's designed to be customisable (so you can easily pre-install VDR etc, and hopefully easily get it to automount other filesystems eg NFS) and to search for another partition with a specific label on the stick to use as a writable home partition or even a writable root.
