Sorry, but this don't work for me... This boot-mgr don't seem to ba able to boot from USB. I have tried on four different PCs. One of them is even capable to boot from USB by its own bios (but extreeemly slooow)
*d'oh* Sorry, my fault. I did not take care of booting from USB. :(
I don't know any floppy/booting disks which support booting via USB. If you find one please let me know so I can mention it in the docs.
