Assuming you only want /storage on USB:
1) Format an SD card with a single FAT partition
2) Copy SYSTEM, KERNEL (renamed to kernel.img), bootcode.bin, fixup.dat, start.elf, config.txt and cmdline.txt files to the SD card
3) Format the USB key with a single ext4 partition (you could use Raspbian on the Pi to format the USB key with ext4)
4) Configure cmdline.txt with "disk=/dev/sda1"
You could also format the USB key with two partitions - one FAT ~100MB, the second ext4 - and "boot" the Pi from the USB key by placing the SYSTEM file in the USB FAT partition, having specified "boot=/dev/sda1 disk=/dev/sda2" in cmdline.txt, but there really is little advantage in doing this compared with the single USB partition approach outlined above.
