No, you are not crazy. As of the latest beta, MiniMyth 
<http://linpvr.org> can do this. That is, it can boot up into a MythTV 
frontend from a USB flash drive on VIA EPIA hardware. In order to 
simplify the process, it comes with a shell script (mkusbkey) that will 
turn a USB key into a bootable MiniMyth image.
