Has anybody successfully booted from disk on key?

I am trying to see if there is a way to load the whole system, instead
of using it merely as a root disk.

My mother board supports booting from USB disks and my IBM disk on key
has USB interface, so I thought perhaps there is a way...

Thanks

Andrew Park

Yes you can.  See:

For a patch that you will need.

Good luck,
