   That would work, but I think there is an even simpler way:   
      
   Put only "bootcode.bin" on a FAT partition on the SD and a complete OS   
   image on the USB drive.   
      
   When you see "/boot/bootcode.bin" on your USB drive being updated,   
   update the other one too.  A script for that should not need dark magic,   
   but it still is on my to do list.
