I think you can store the distro on a SD card and boot from there.
If you use a 4GB card you have plenty of space for everything.

It may be a little slower than internal Flash.

For SHR you need to unpack the kernel to a FAT partition
and the .tgz root file system to an ext2/ext3.

PS: for the future you will be able to upgrade to the GTA04 motherboard.
