Yes, I use it as an emergency boot solution on our new server platform.

Basically, you want syslinux. You may not realize this yet, but you do.
Finnix has a finnix-thumbdrive command that you can use, once you have
booted from CD first.
In finding howtos, I'm sure that adding syslinux to your existing search
words will help.

NOTE: finnix-thumbdrive will fully erase the contents of the drive in
the process.
