Oops, I was under the impression you was using a floppy.
I'd advise doing it that way as if memory serves me right the
installed version automatically writes the entries which in your case,
initially, is no good.
I may be wrong but you might be getting hung up on a bit of booting
confusion. If you are NOT using a boot loader (Grub, Lilo, SBManager)
then the bios will default to the first boot device which in your case
should be the USB however remember its looking for a Windows
environment so it will ignore the Linux and move on to CD, FDD, C:
Now I know you put Lilo etc on the USB so in theory the BIOS should
pick that up (I have no idea why its not) what you need to do (As one
of my famous nasty fixes) is set the BIOS to boot from Floppy then
insert the SBManager and boot.
This pre-supposes that the BIOS is mounting the USB drive for your
bootloader to see. If that's successful then there is something wrong
in your Grub/Lilo install and or configuration.
