Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.
You are not logged in.
The advantage here are multifold:
1. The hard-drives can still shut down
2. Changing/editing a kernel and root setup is as easy as swapping a flash drive
3. Hard drive mounting positions can still be maintained /mnt/HD_a2 (relative to root) without links or extra binds
But is this possible?

Doesn't seem to work for me.
Can someone else try to verify whether this works or not? (I want to make sure that it is not due to some stupid mistake that I'm doing)
Wonder whether timing can be issue in that could it take too long for the usb bus to come up?
Also, note that the kernel I am using has usb built-in so that shouldn't be an issue.

I notice that the "led" on my usb stick does not light up when I do ffp-reloaded pointing to /dev/sdc5 (the location of my usb linux partition). So it seems like it never gets to mounting/scanning the usb bus.

PROBLEM SOLVED:
I added the 'rootdelay' parameter to the command line to give the usb bus time to scan and stabilize.
The key line in boot.sh is now (for me):
./reload.sh -I root=/dev/sdc5 rootdelay=10
