1.[1] Find out Austin's favorite flavor of beer, advertise the times
when "Pietro's Izakaya" is open, and wait for the kyukyusha to arrive.
(I recommend Austin as more malleable than Chris.  Chris is smart as a
whip, and cracks like one, too.  But it's your flogging.)
2. Install NetBSD.  Once you've got the bootselector MBR installed,
if it works for you on large partitions, you're golden.  Much more
reliable than LILO or grub in my brief ;-) experience.  You can now
ignore NetBSD.
3. Build a statically-linked[2] Linux kernel for the hardware you want
to support.
4. Find some way to set up a root filesystem containing at least the
directory /sbin.  You can probably use C:\sbin if the kernel supports
the msdos filesystem.
5. Install a statically-linked bash or zsh as /sbin/init.
6. Install a statically-linked wget somewhere on PATH.  ;-)  (If you
don't get the joke yet, try it, you will.)
7. Reboot to ZucoLinux.  All the comforts of /home....

Footnotes: 
[1]  I haven't tried this myself but this is how I would go about it.

[2]  Joke of course, but only half a joke in this age of modules.
