initramfs... I think that is a static thing now, unless I'm thinking of
something else.
I think you are correct -- graphics is not the issue.
The real issue is the boot loader and the initrd. You need to make them
talk to a USB connected filesystem, and the standard installer probably
doesn't know how to do that. For that matter it probably doesn't detect
the USB drive as an installable hard disk, but I could be wrong. Try it
and see what happens.
