Not if you boot directly from USB key into memory with no disk drive.

I am sorry, but this is wrong. A USB Key is another 'PC Architecture'
that DOES NOT WORK for network devices. There is NO positive mechanical
force to keep that thing inserted, and the way a USB Key would hang off
most devices with a USB port, would put it at very high risk for being
accidentally bumped / disconnected. Secondly, there are still many many
PC Architecture boxen that still do not boot correctly from USB.
