If the USB flash stick is recognized by the USB bios it should work, see example below. But for reference, ensure the image is bootable, it is basically treated like a hard drive, I just dd'ed images of suitable size from a HD or mSATA SSD to the USB flash. FreeBSD require you to update the fstab file as SATA devices are called sd and USB device da, and to add "kern.cam.boot_delay=5000" as FreeBSD seems to try to mount the USB file systems before it's ready.... OpenBSD and Linux 3.0.0 just booted, although those test was done using a USB to SATA adapter. An ISO image will probably not work, isn't it CD/DVD specific ?
