BIOSs don't care. They just execute code. What you are asking is the
same as asking why the OS/2 USB drivers don't support every existing USB
device.

Don't forget to write a STICKFS.IFS while you are at it.

Now let me see you boot this track from the hard drive.

You probably told RSJ to make a bootable CD when you wrote to the stick.
I suspect you neglected to do this, or couldn't do this, when you told RSJ
to write to the hard drive. It appears that RSJ is smart enough to not
even try to write a bootable image to a mounted volume. This is probably
a good thing for the rest of the data on the volume.
What you have on the hard drive is a track image which is very different
from a bootable image. Next time you create a bootable CD from an ISO
image, try to find a file named track01.trk on the CD.
