Question USB Flash Drive Life
So my question is, how well did it work? Was anyone successful in writing large files, > 300megs, to a USB flash drive. My attempts on three different machines have resulted in "deformatting" the drives; Cruze Micro 1G & 512megs, and Sony 1G vault. On the third trial the Cruze 1G was rendered unrecognizable,

Preotecting grammar on an USB flash drive
As long as the flash drive is connected when I boot the machine, it is correctly recognized as da0, I can mount da0s1, read and write to and from it -- everything's fine. But at that point, if I (unmount and) disconnect the flash drive, I can't get it recognized again. I had a lot of problems with flash drives too.

what's the story with usb flash drives which suddenly need ...
You'll need at least as much physical memory as the size of the flash drive, but the cost factor isn't all that prohibitive.

Question USB Flash Drive Life
There are adaptors to do that with laptop drives. But it still isn't the easiest thing to do. Maybe someone else will be able to help you with the non-booting issue. Booting into safe mode probably won't allow you to copy to the USB flash drive, just like DOS - no drivers.
