Hmm, most likely this won't work. Iff your boxes are old enough to not
support PXE they most likely won't support booting from USB media. In my
experience you'd at least need a lot of tweaking (BIOS updates etc.).

Another thing worth mentioning: for all my USB-booting boxes (several
laptops by different manufacturers) i needed to modify the initrd
creation ...
