I have actually installed a complete system on a USB stick before; not only the root partition, but also swap and home. And I have been considering putting the efi boot partition on a flash drive, except that I need to get a few more flash drives before I can waste one for such a small partition. Unless it can be put there along side a Linux installation, then boot either from the machine's OS or from the one installed on the USB stick? That sounds like it could work, or not.
