The solution that worked for me was to burn a DVD. This will only work
if you have a DVD burner to create the bootable image. The target
system then has to have a BIOS bootable CDROM/DVD drive. I decided to
use DVD-RW media. I created the bootable DVD on a Windows system with
a USB attached DVD-+RW drive. The target system had a different DVD
drive but it did boot from the RW DVD drive even though it was the
second CDROM/DVD device, the first being a CDROM only reader.
