Might be possible - but changing the root partition even using chroot,
then removing the boot media might cause some headaches.  I've done some
appliance-type Linux stuff before using different removable media (CD,
CF, Zip and floppy) but I've never considered removing the boot media
(and therefore root file system) after the system is up.

I'd be interested to know how it works out :)  Good luck.

Cheers,

James
