I have bootable USB drives with 8.10 and eeebuntu. Having said that, I tried to do it with the 8.04LTS iso and although it came up with the live CD menu it wouldn't boot properly. So I would say, give it a try with the server iso. You can always use gparted to reformat the pendrive back if it doesn't work.
