The idea is rather to add the code of flash_rom into filo and have filo's filesystem layer only load the flash image from usb. This should be doable in a whole of 30k I would bet. Since both filo and flash_rom are rather small and clean, integration should not be too much of an effort. Otherwise you would have to add minimal console and libc functionality to flash_rom which filo already has.
