Sadly there is high chance it won't be possible. OS2008 uses newer kernel (2.6.21 vs 2.6.18) so initfs and kernel will be different. With current dual boot solution kernel and initfs is shared. If we are lucky it may be tweaked somehow, we'll see.

If there won't be easy solution there is still this idea of booting one linux kernel from another one (called kexec) which could make this possible. I know about it for long time but it is not exactly easy, so far there was not enough motivation and there always was lower hanging fruit to pick :-)
