We have done a small work on this
You can check at leaf.mgeng.com
Sorry but it's in italian but the commands can be intellegible.

In brief summary:

All the work is based on the use of the USB as an USB mounted SCSI Disk
and can be
used to work on USB disks or USB keys.
With this method you can start the bering from USB or simply use USB as
backup

Format the  as FAT
Create a single bootable partition
run mkdosfs on it
run syslinux on it
copy all bering files on it
(pay attention to avoid to copy ldlinux.sys over the one created by
syslinux)
The bering need some modification:
you must add modules (scsi_mod.o usbcore.o usb-uhci.o usbstorage.o
sd_mod.o) in
/boot/lib/modules
you must add their names in /boot/etc/modules
to make this you must uncompress initrd.lrp
cp initrd.lrp /tmp/initrd.gz
gunzip /tmp/initrd.gz
then you mount
mount -o loop /tmp/initrd /mnt
then you can access /mnt/boot/lib/modules/ and /mnt/boot/etc/modules
to complete the work unmount
umount /mnt
compress
gzip /tmp/initrd
reinstall
cp /mnt/initrd.gz initrd.lrp

NOTE:
In some cases you need usb-ohci.o instead of usb-uhci.o , depending on
your USB controller.
You must modify syslinux.cfg in order to have the correct device name.


I hope this can be useful: I use this on Bering 1.1 stable and it work
fine. I have used different CF (an 8M from Canon, some 32M from SanDisk)
without problems.
