[NTLUG:Discuss] Booting from a USB Flash Drive? ( 64Meg - $9.99 at Fry's )

[Jack Snodgrass]

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.
