Can you boot off a USB device? I have used a Thinkpad 570 and an X20
with FreeBSD and I'm thinking about upgrading to a X31, but I don't
want a docking station. On the 570 I installed from an external floppy
disk drive and when I was installing the X20 I simply removed the hard
disk drive and inserted it into a bigger Thinkpad, booted off floppy
and installed over the network, then moved the disk back to the X20.
