For a 100kb filesystem (or larger) I would recommend
a proper Linux partition on the HD.

The BL2 install routine won't work for BL3.  It requires  
Slackware packages on /cd.

It really doesn't make much difference whether you are installing
to HD or to loop.  Both can be mounted on /hd and the installation
script will transfer the filesystem there.
