If it is only going to be booted once to partition and format, why is boot speed an issue?
Save remastering time and trouble by having a tce directory on the USB stick with needed extensions.

Its will move around and boot on different computers for bringing them to life.
Remastering isnt much work really.. I use root access on a separate debian computer, extract the core, add the tce files and auto generates the Onboot file from whatever is loaded into tce/optional, repairs owner/group/mod and cpio's and gzip's it to a new corefile. It mostly done in a script, so its not much work, and it happens quickly.

Im going to use this stick as a bringup, cleaning and service device for some custom computers. I want a predictable environment and being able to unplug the stick just after its booted without damaging any settings is just an advantage.

the copy2fs.flg will cause the extensions to load into RAM so the stick can be removed after booting.
