Boot from smartmedia card?

Hi,

It seems like the linux 2.4 and up kernels are now able to deal with usb devices, even usb 
drives, so do you know  anyone who has done that, and wouldn't it be fine to 
be able to use cdlinux to write to a smartmedia card just like to a disk on chip?  Is
there a usb boot mechanism already in linux?
