That doesn't facilitate the net installer installing to a bootable USB.

Installing to a bootable USB involves some 'tricks' which are not 
employed by the net installer nor the server installer.  Those 
installers 'think' (are designed to perform as if) they are installing 
to a conventional hdd.

I know how to put a net installer on a USB and boot it up to install to 
a hdd, but not net install to a USB.
