No.
You could do the initial part of boot from SD (the firmware) and then have it finish from a memory stick. But it kind of defeats the object.

Re: USB stick
There are worthwhile reasons for running the OS from a USB stick after booting from an SD card though. The USB stick may offer greater speed, increased capacity, and better reliability. I guess the full answer to your question depends on why you wanted to try it in the first place.meddyliol wrote:Can a Pi be booted from a USB memory stick?
