In theory yes but you need to have correct modules and root device name set for the bootmenu item in bootmenu.conf, it won't work out of box. linuxrc script in initfs on N800 doesn't have any special suppport for this (n770 one has so there is 'usb' root device). But it should still work if the device automatically switches itself to host mode and detects usb device correctly. Maybe there can be also timing problem if you set usb as default boot device and skip the menu. Anyway, if you make it working, let me know your bootmenu.conf settings so I can add it to the n800 bootmenu.conf example configuration. Also if you need to set host mode by hand on boot it can be solved too in bootmenu.sh (see how poweroff is done). I'd like to try it too but don't have cable yet. I was thinking about building short usb female to female adapter so it could work together with normal mini-usb cable. Slight disadvantage is that probably that fifth pin for host mode autodetection doesn't have wire in the cable so I cannot shortcut it in the short adapter I want to build => software switching must be used.
