Booting Linux from an SD card on a diskless fitpc

[raldi]

I'm thinking about getting one of these as a kind of X10 home-telemetry hub and general-purpose always-on, low-power, low-computing-power machine:

I'd like to run Linux on it, but I don't really need very much storage space. Is it possible to install Linux on an SD card in one of these machines and boot from it without any hard drive?

Booting from SD is currently not supported by BIOS.

You can use your fitpc with a compact-flash (CF)card and a SATA/CF adaptator.
I've installed wattOS (ubuntu derivate) on the card (4GB) and the system run quite smoothly to surf and listen music

bertrand@fitpc:~$ df -h

/dev/sda2 3.5G 1.7G 1.7G 50% /

Cool. Were there any complications getting it installed?
