An initrd might do the trick, although it's sometimes unconvenient to use : - lilo (or grub) loads the initrd into memory - lilo (or grub) loads the kernel and executes it - the kernel sees the initrd and mounts it and executes /linuxrc - linuxrc can load USB modules and wait the required amount of time - linuxrc then mounts the root fs and does the pivot_root() and exits - the kernel finally boots /sbin/init from your USB FS.
