Check out: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/usb-qemu.html
note that this is for a 256mb chip. It would be just as easy to run a
full cd distro with qemu: qemu.exe -L bios/ -cdrom //./
or look at: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/10/24/1845248
I have a spare 1GB CF camera card that I am going to copy a verion of
knoppix and try booting from qemu using the damnsmalllinux instructions.
The nice thing about dsl is it is a smaller footprint.
I have put the dsl (zip) file installable to a 256mb chip on my home
site if you prefer: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/dsl-2.3-embedded.zip
