boot a OS from linux

Hi, I have to check a sign on a crypted FS in a usb-key and then, after autenthication, boot a OS. I need a library to read in that FS and so I cannot boot directly from a loader (grub, lilo ). I think I can create a small linux distribution but I don't' know how to boot a new OS after the authentication... any suggestions ? (I cannot spend days & days to read the lilo or grub sources .. :-)) tnx, empo
