I just wanted to close this issue. It turns out this was an oddity with the system BIOS. When verifying the usb image contained the modifications I made to menu.lst I removed the usb stick from the system. When doing this the BIOS must have seen that the usb (hard drive) was not present and removed it from the hard drive boot order list. So upon replacement of the usb stick it was not booting from the usb image itself but from the same image contained in the cdrom drive.
Thanks for all you suggestions and efforts to help resolve this issue. -Rich -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
