It is possible and pretty simple too. The only thing necessary is that
the USB stack, the host controller drivers and the usb_disk driver are
added to the boot module symlinks. If you build Haiku yourself you can
add the targets "usb <usb>uhci <usb>ohci <usb>ehci usb_disk" to the
targets list of "AddBootModuleSymlinksToHaikuImage" in "build/jam/
HaikuImage". Otherwise you can do this manually by creating symlinks to
"/boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/bus_managers/usb", "/boot/beos/system
/add-ons/kernel/busses/usb/{u|o|e}hci" and "/boot/beos/system/add-ons/
kernel/drivers/bin/usb_disk" in the "/boot/beos/add-ons/kernel/boot"
folder where all the other boot symlinks reside already.
