How about the plop boot manager? It has helped me a lot back in the days.
Or any other pxe implementation.
Or veven installing everything on that drive from another computer, which is likely the easiest way.
I recently came across IDE/SD card adapters. Perfect for that kind of project, as it is much easier, cheaper and energy efficient to find, swap and use SD cards nowadays. My use-case is an Xbox console for nxdk dev work, but I haven't tried yet.
