Good question. I'm not sure. I know that if I dd the floppy image to the USB stick it boots without issue. I found that I can also remove the stick when it asks for the next floppy and dd the next image and so on until it's up and running. I can't, however, dd the iso and have it boot. I can manually mount the USB stick with the ISO on it and browse as though it were a true CD, but I just can't boot from it.
Years ago I remember spending considerable effort into building bootable cdroms based on floppy images using a whole mess of various unix tools and it was a pain...and something tells me this is somehow related, but it's been so long I'm don't even remember where to start looking. I figured that for sure by now this would be pretty trivial... Doh! :-P Alan > I've never played with booting from an USB device.
