Has anyone done it yet?

I have no idea what I will boot, I am still trying to figure out what my options are.

I'm hoping this is close:

The goal is to boot a pi from a 'boot SD'

fairly quickly be prompted to replace it with a blank SD and hit any key

and then a full raspberian image will be dd-ed onto it,
then reboot and make sure it works.

This is to have a process for classes of 30 kids that get to take home the pi

historically there is a DOA of about 2 per class, so trying to weed those out before class starts

so using each pi to image it's SD has a nice side effect.
