i've seen some people use usb sticks, and in practice it works on

for usb booting. Most of todays computers DO. Personally i like
compact flash because it is fairly easy to use as a cheap alternative
to a hard drive. I mirror the cf drives exactly like they are hard
drives so if one fails i just replace it. USB is a little harder to
do that with because they are just not as consistent as compact
flash. But honestly it should work and many people do this.
This product looks really interesting:

Take care, the SATA model didn't work with Solaris. I have haven't
tried the current builds (I last tried with nv_101). The IDE model
works fine.
