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.
