Shouldn't you just be able to dump the MBR of an installed ReactOS system and point NTLDR to it (C:\ros.mbr="ReactOS")? I haven't tested but in theory it works.

Once driver compatibility is reached, it should be effortless to support just about any filesystem. Just a little code needs to be added to the boot process before the driver is loaded.
