Anyone know if it's possible... ( not just theory ) but actually
possible to boot from a USB Flash Drive? I picked up a linksys
64Meg Flash Drive from Fry's ( $9.99 after a $20 rebate ) and
was hoping to be able to boot my PC with it, but it didn't seem
to work. Do ANY motherboards support this?
I was able to mount the drive and copy my /boot partition and
play with syslinux but at boot time ( I specified SCSI and
'other' as boot options ) it didn't seem to try and use the
USB port.
Any info would be appreciated.
