I don't think Thomas Schmitt was quite saying you cannot boot from USB
using boot.img.gz but querying why you should want to. Isohybrid images
were introduced to Debian in 2011. Prior to that, boot.img.gz was one
method to boot a netinst image from USB on a machine which did not have
a CD drive (say). There is no call for this method unless an isohybrid
image is not available or it doesn't work.

You really should say what you are trying to achieve.
