I believe it can boot from USB stick. It will run as a live CD as well, which seems more secure than USB since you can't corrupt it. It is open source and free of cost. See http://www.pfsense.com/ If you *really* want to roll your own with nanobsd, see if you can make it use grub as the boot loader instead. I hear it has an easier time with some hardware.
