  I don't know if it has command line options, but it does read and write
a configuration file (possibly with a hard coded list of directory names).
With the auto boot option it should be possible to configure it to boot
without additional user intervention.

  As I recall, the Casio machines have proprietary PCMCIA controllers; A
CF card can be used if configured in CE, however insertion or removal and
other cards will not work.  It is possible that Linux users have gotten
the documentation or REd enough of the CE driver to be useful, although
last time I checked (quite some time ago) Linux had the same limitation.
