I was answering the question posed here, where the questioner wanted to achieve this.

But I use toram routinely for booting router images. The system loads and then doesn't touch the boot disk at all. And if there happens to be a power failure, I can be pretty sure it won't leave my filesystem in an inconsistent state.

In addition, every now and then I use a USB flash drive that I have with me in my pocket to boot a working Debian, which I can then remotely connect to even if I leave with the flash drive in my pocket again.
