For all intents and purposes, the flash ram as you call it, is still a hard drive and more accurately called a flash drive. I thought the 4100 was really a generic pc with a bios only headless without a console port, IE, a stripped down pc. The only pc hardware I know of that doesn't use a bios is the new Intel Macs but they aren't really considered pc's, this biosless concept was borrowed from the Itanium but we all know that a bios image can be used to fake out and run a pc x86 os on them ( the Macs). I know that no snap hardware is this advanced. I believe that you'll find the Intel Flash drive only contains the os installed with a bootloader on its mbr like any mechanical drive would have.
