Chances you have any online notes on that?

  Sadly, I don't think I do; I was mostly messing around with pi's ten years ago, and don't seem to have blog entries specifically on the usb disk. The main idea, though, was to set up the os so that the boot folder was on the SD card, with root mounted from the usb drive, and /tmp on a ramfs. Iirc, I would install normally on the SD card, and then copy data to the usb stick and edit the boot files to point where they needed to. And finally, set the SD card to read only mode once everything was settled. I think there's better options for all of this on more recent pi's, though. I think you can just boot directly from USB now, for example, instead of relying on the SD card.
