Right, yes, I have never managed to get the system to boot directly off a USB memory stick unfortunately, but you may have more luck than I did!
For what it's worth, I have a WGT634U booting with root on a USB stick using the following kernel command line:
console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10
I haven't tried booting the E3 from a USB stick, so I don't know if your problems were the same as those the WGT has, but the rootdelay=10 gives the kernel a bit of time to recognise the stick before it attempts to mount it.
