And if it cannot (because there is no BIOS support for USB booting), there is
a workaround: the Plop Boot Manager.

Install Plop Boot Manager on a floppy, CD, or even the hard disk, then
boot into Plop and then from Plop boot the image from the USB device, providing
of course that Plop has detected the USB device.
