Right now, there is not an easy way to do what you're after.
Soon however this may change. CRL has recently added the ability
to boot off a compact flash so this may be possible, once this is
adapted for the j720.

I think the sequence would look something like this:

1. Startup wince
2. Run cyace or hpcboot to 'boot' the CRL bootloader
3. From CRL bootloader, boot linux off compact flash.

Be sure to check the Jornada 720 status page for any news
on this:
