for compact flash IDE adaptor. I've used one of these with a 128MB compact
flash card to boot smoothwall (no additional hard drives) and it works
fine... you may run into arguments about the expected life cycle of
read/write to CF but hey at £30 a pop and falling, and with 100,000 MTBF
write operations you could expect it to last at least a few years... one
thing to note is that older systems have a real hard time with these things,
the old 486 box that my smootheall was on refused to work correctly with
linux, it would get as far as uncompressing the kernel and then fail, but on
a newer(ish) k6 233, it worked fine... and is pretty quick to boot...
(faster than HDD)

Mmm... I'm having trouble finding any of these drives... can anyone point
me
in the right direction? Or maybe someone has one for sale?
Another neat thing would be flash memory on a PCI card, as this would give
potentially very good data rates too. Again though, I'm not sure if
anything
like that exists.

It meets _some_ of your criteria. It boots straight to freevo, is small,
and supports Booting via USB/PXE/cf/HD however it does take a few
minutes to boot and shows you the boot messages (although i presume
there's a way to toggle this?)
