Yup. We've been doing that for some time now.

You can indeed boot from both USB and 1394 devices. I do it all the time.

Some of the issues do exist today, but eSATA HDD can just make them even
bigger(like security). Some of issues are controlled by OS today, for
instance, you can not boot from a USB device. But, It will be absolutely
unacceptable if we can't boot from a (e)SATA HDD since there is no
standard way to tell which port is a internal or external SATA port on a
SATA controller chip today in the spec.

Furthermore, eSATA device, especially eSATA hard drive, also introducs
issues like data security, boot/non-boot, authentication and
licensing.
The industry as a whole needs to address those issues before eSATA
device
can be very useful.
Why is an external SATA (aka eSATA?) any different than an external USB
or
1394 hard disk drive?
