My new Dell D800 claims to be able to boot from USB mass storage devices 
(i.e. flash) and I believe I even saw options for booting over the net 
from PCMCIA and/or 802.11b. I haven't actually tried any of these 
options, so I am not sure how well the support is implemented, and I 
haven't been able to find any documentation for it.
