This initial ROM contents (as of Friday, Nov. 7) boots the debian-installer
(in low-memory mode) on my NSLU2:
  http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/files/tmp/daily.img
and then enables me to install a Debian Linux system which boots vmlinuz
(with initrd) from /boot of the USB2.0 disk.  Obviously I can take the
USB2.0 disk to any other machine, mount it, change the contents of the
filesystem however I like, then take the USB2.0 disk back to the NSLU2.

If not please provide me the

I have no experience with that particular hardware or software,
and I'm slightly baffled why you are asking me.
