There are 2 issues:
1. Booting from USB key -- this is BIOS issue. If BIOS doesn't see
USB devices, then nothing is going to happen.
2. Mounting USB root device -- once kernel loads and runs, it will
mount root device. With 2.6.11+, kernel can mount USB directly.
With 2.6.10, you need my patch. With 2.6.9-, you need 'initrd', and
load/mount USB from there.
