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) ..
