   Actually I did read somewhere that it is possible. Technically you only need   
   to use the SD card to boot to init, so modify your /etc/fstab to change the   
   location of your root partition to the device of the USB drive.   
   (Theoretically, I haven't booted my Pi's in quite some time.. rapidly losing   
   interest in running a BBS) ..
