Actually, that method only works on the syslinux family of bootloaders. TC does have generic loading of those as well, but it happens at the extension stage, too late for your purposes.

On grub a remaster it is.

Getting slightly off topic, but what's to stop TC from finding and loading the extra *.gz files for TC BEFORE starting up udevd? That would make a bit more sense and make the extra *.gz files a little more useful IMO.

Some technical obstacles (if they reside on unknown devices), but it's a slippery slope there. I think soon entry points would be wanted for every step of the boot process, bringing unnecessary complexity.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Hmm, ok, point taken.

Thank you all for helping me out:)
I'm not quite happy with having to remaster but it is what it is:)

Thanks
