Yes, definitely. The USB 2 in the back is where you should have /boot. Since the goal here is to use a fast drive for rootfs, you can store the rootfs on the faster USB 3.0 drive in front.
The requirement is:
- The rootfs drive on USB 3 has single partition, and the partition label is rootfs.
- The latest uboot.2017.07-tld-1.nsa325.mtd0.kwb was installed.
- And the u-boot env for bootargs is unchanged from the u-boot installation. If it was changed, then you should make sure the boot device looks like
The kernel will mount the rootfs on the USB 3.0 drive correctly after it booted.

set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_paramsroot=LABEL=rootfs is the important arg that tell the kernel where to mount the rootfs.
