Many BIOSes support USB sticks under DOS using "legacy emulation" or
"legacy mode", but it is possible that your BIOS is not one of these.
Kind of surprised that your BIOS doesn't support booting from USB, though.
I thought that was something every BIOS supported, and it should be
OS-independent. But maybe yours is an older machine?
