I'm going to try booting from a CF Card on my old laptop one of these days: it has an 8.4GB limit and I have this nice 10GB laptop hard drive lying around, as well as a PCMCIA CF Card adapter.
It may well boot on a 2.5" ATA adapter, but many old laptops don't support booting from PC Cards. Quite a few do, but it's about the same situation as booting USB, you won't know for a particular machine until you try.
