But not a USB drive yet. I tested booting from a USB drive. I was using a 5v, .5A IDE drive on a USB adapter. Not enough power through the USB port on my Cubie even with a 3A power supply to the powerplug. I moved the drive to a powered USB enclousure and there it was recognized but the boot still failed. What I learned is that at the present time the necessary modules like ehci_platform, ohci_platform, and phy_sun4i_usb are not yet in initrd. But this is on the todo list, so sometime during the F22 development you SHOULD be able to boot with all the partitions on a USB drive (with enough power). If someone knows dracut (replaced mkinitrd, I have been told) they may be able to hack this together now if they can't wait until support is done mainline. I can wait, as I have sata on my Cubies.
