FWIW, I finally did find a way to install Win 7, or at least the RC version, from 
an SD card.

Directions are here:

http://mintywhite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=560

The key was using the DISKPART utility under Windows 7 running on another machine 
(obviously, not the one that I needed to install Win 7 on!).  Supposedly it also 
works under Vista.

Under Windows XP, USB flash drives or SD cards are for some reason not visible to 
DISKPART, so you can't follow the directions I linked to.  That is why I was unsuccessful 
in my first couple of attempts.
