I think the easier method is not to actually move the image to the flash 
card but to move the SquashFS image
and build a specialized initrd. I have done this with USB flash sticks 
already and I can provide you with the
linuxrc script I use if you wish.

What we do is mount the Squash image via loopback, and simply go on to 
pivot_root.
We don't use find-live-cd. Furthermore the rc scripts are slightly 
reworked. I did this creating my own SquashFS
image by hand however, not using Kadischi. It can be done in the same 
method as Kadischi however.

What I'd like to see is a Kadischi-USB fork to support installing to USB 
Flash devices.
