I think you just supplied the answer! I didn't think of it, but the 
equivalent of a live CD is exactly what I need. Now I just need to 
figure out how to build a live CD like system, minus the compressed 
filesystem stuff and I should be there.

I should have mentioned earlier that this box is going to be a dedicated 
media player, with the compact flash drive as it's only disc. I know I 
should probably just use openelec or geexbox, but that would take all 
the fun out of it. I will try to steal the init system from one of these 
dedicated distributions, but I really want to build the system with 
Fedora packages as much as possible.

Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge.
