Interesting job you have there!

but you can use a USB stick with the relevant device (/dev/sd0i, /dev/sd1i, 
etc).

A dmesg from a booted system is more useful though. You can just install
to a USB stick as if it was a hard drive and most BIOSes will be able
to just boot from that.

Looks like there are a few for about half that if you don't need a new one.
