The DamnSmall FTP site has a floppy .img that I have used to successfully bootstrap and hand off to a USB jumpdrive.

Nope, need a PC for that unless you get some new fancy dancy camera w/ the feature.  The ones with SD/MMC flash memory cards can be put directly into certain printers that will print w/out a PC.  I was looking at some big screen TVs lately that also had SD flash and Sony Memstick slots to view pictures w/out a PC.  For those you could bank on needing the unencrypted fat16 filesystem as they come form the factory.  At least until world domination is achieved.
