I may be wrong but I've been under the impression this whole time that the 
specific motherboard chipset has to allow the "boot from usb device" option.
Help me out here......am I misguided?  I want to set this up as well but 
I'm having a little trouble finding the motherboard that I want.....the 
Asus motherboard that I've been looking at has an nforce2 chipset that 
comes with just about everything......I'm not getting the version with 
built in video.....but I don't think it allows for booting from 
USB.....which sucks.  I'd like to find all the features of 
nforce2....firewire, usb2.0, lan, sound, etc.......s-ata and raid support 
added in but also booting from USB....anyone hear of anyone offering this 
setup?
