Boot VM from USB

[mpreissner]

A lot of people are carrying around entire filesystems on USB drives, SD cards, and other flash memory devices. I'd like to be able to boot a system from a removable media into Parallels similar to the way that Parallels can boot my Boot Camp partition.

Nice idea. Haven't really thought about this. I'm not sure if VMware has this capability tho.

It's simplerto just store the .pvms in the usb storage, the bootcamp comparison only makes sense if you also want to boot these vms natively.
