Nearest thing I have come across is either booting DOS from a 16MB Smart 
Media card or booting a linux box (Redhat) from a compact flash card on 
a Mini ITX board at a company I worked for.

I could certainly see the advantages of something like this for 
something like an ultra quiet Myth TV box (for viewing video rather than 
recording video) or an in-car MP3 player.
