Boot From Other Device Possible?

Still Fresh
let's suppose one connects a usb-something (external dvd player, floppy, pendrive) with a bootable OS capable of working with pandora, would it work?
 
well its already been discussed in relation to booting from an sd card so it should be possible to boot from a usb device as well
 
USB is doubtful, due to the work and drivers that it requires. Booting from an SD card in comparison is childs play.

In that case could you make a SD boot disk that caused it to boot from an external usb device, something along the lines of grub maybe.

The easiest way would be to put a kernel on a SD card, boot from that, and then that boots the file system from a usb device.
