I can't answer your question but I am interested to know how you intend prevent unwanted writes to the SD. I have installed the live image on a Compact Flash (/dev/sda) card from USB, also an image that I made using MID2. They both boot OK on my IEI Kino-Atom board . I can (re)mount /tmp on RAM OK but the problem comes with /var. There is so much that it expected to exist in /var that it crashes after a remount to RAM. Ideally the whole RFS should exist in RAM which I guess the USB stick does when you run from it.
