If you could build a kernel with NFS or SMBfs support,
You should be able to mount /drive0 and/or /drive1 from remote. You would probably have to "upload" all the tunes through emplode and the empeg player and back again to the file server to do this, though.... Where is the database? is it in /drive0/var? Then this should be no issue.
