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.
