You basically have to follow the MultiROM image steps, but instead of placing the files into /data/media/0/multirom you will want to put them into a *multirom* directory inside of your fat32-formatted USB drive. You will however have to edit the init script, find the USB drive's device (it should be /dev/block/sda1 but don't count on that), mount it and pass the torch to systemd's init.

A normal Nexus 7 Flo boot will call */system/bin/conn_init*, which does a whole lot of verifying your MAC address and then writes out a config with the MAC address in it. Very annoying (especially if you want to spoof it). To get around this you need a copy of the Wi-Fi configs and manually enable the wifi driver since it's not loaded on boot.
