Your root partition can be on just about anything as long as the kernel 
has support for it compiled in, it can't be a module.  You'll need both 
USB and usb-storage support compiled into the kernel to boot a pen 
drive.  This will mean a recompile since the stock kernel has atleast 
usb-storage as a module.
