Indeed my trusty old Thinkpad X30 doesn't boot from USB keys (tho in
theory it can boot from a USB floppy reader), so I use one of two
alternative options:
- Boot using the Grub on the X30's own HDD, and then ask Grub to boot
the kernel+initrd found on the USB key (this is my favorite solution).
- Copy the USB key's kernel+initrd to the /boot partition on the X30's
HDD and boot from that.
- Take the HDD out of the X30 and connect it to my desktop via some
HDD<->USB adapter. Then do what I need to do to it from the comfort
of my desktop computer, typically using `chroot` along the way (this
is the second best).
