Well like I said earlier. Why not setup a small jffs2 filesystem in flash
to host filo.conf? We would also have to add support for jffs2 to FILO. But
it would work pretty cool. I also found some old posts where Eric Biederman
was looking into jffs2 for something else. I'm not sure if he got anywhere
with it.
