Or a separate fdisk partition, even. Why do I get the impression that 
the whole i386 booting business is a festering pile of hacks?  ;)

Sure, if I can be around to do that. The idea in the background was to 
set up a poor man's failover scheme, where the fallback machine would 
run a different system until needed, so it can keep the copy of the 
main system updated.

I am looking into CARP currently, maybe that offers an alternate path.

Cheerio,
